Still waiting on the postman for a Razorock Bruce. After 3/4 shaves the keyhole has proved to be a fantastic small face latherer for the money. Ideal for the damp English Autumn/Winter.

Razor: Razorock Game changer.84,-Mfg 2018> Excellent tame mid range, 316 stainless, excellent quality control, good results mostly. Like to use the Kai SS blade with this razor.
Blade: Kai SS (1) Sharp & smooth with excellent longevity, extra wide from a Standard Gillette blade, 9/1000 of a inch or .009" wider, great blade for milder razor that need a little more blade feel or exposure.
Soap: Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood, nice Bayrum scent with some clove + great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Moka express 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: witch hazel + Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood AS + a dollop of Nivea balm with HA.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=excellent shave with my RR GC.84 + a Kai SS Blade

Have some great shaves!

Razor: Valet Auto-strop C1 Canadian variant- MFG 1920's, modified blade gab from 11/1000" to 7/1000 of inch & it made this old interesting razor into a smooth comfortable razor from a prior aggressive razor. I like using it a lot more & is in my rotation for years.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(1) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely & predictable. Best SE blade for cost and shave IMO.
Soap: Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood, nice scent with great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Artic sky 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of Clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: witch hazel + Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood + a dollop of Nivea with 2 drops of HA.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Valet auto-strop C1 model + a modified Gem coated blade.

Have some great shaves!
