Razor : Ever- Ready British 1912- Mfg 1933-53 UK, mid range, this razor was built to last and still gives a excellent shave. This razor is new old stock almost or is. The handle if one of the best for grip because of the ornamental corners protruding. The ASR 1912 model was the best seller for their brand and sold millions. Had a close and comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (7) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream, very rose smelling soap 5-6/10 strength with excellent lather qualities. CRS makes excellent creams from my uses over the years.
Brush : Yaqi "Panda bear" 24mm Tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.

Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Simpsons Duke 3 Best
Soap: a new/ modified base sample soap from Alfredo..
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..

So, Alfredo was kind enough to send me a sample of his new soap base, designed to handle hard water problems.. well, he has succeeded.. a faultless shave was had, with top notch performance in all departments.. so good in fact, that I was doing extra passes just for the enjoyment of it... Kudos to Alfredo for this new offering.
I can't wait to get my hands on a full soap..
