After a long time I am using this one and the shave was ok.
Probably the shave would have been better with a new blade!

Razor: Gillette nickel replated New Short Comb ball end 1930s
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Brush: Razorock Barber 24 synthetic
Soap: Williams
Rating: 9.5

First use of the Razorock brush this evening. Seems to hold more water than natural badger, so I should have shaken off more water before using: the lather was a little too watery. Still a great shave, but some slight irritation.

Sunday Schick shave, Once a week at least I like to get one of my Schick injector razors out of the racks for this tradition and today is no different than with my Schick Adjustable injector model 3(M3). This razor is a marvel to shave with and results are stellar like usual.

Razor: Schick adjustable injector M3- MFG 1970-72 -Great razor to zero in on your type of shave- setting 3!
Blade : Personna injector (9) great blade, very sharp and keeps a edge while sitting idle over time IMO.
Soap: Razorock Lavender- I just enjoy using this soap because it has great lather qualities and scent.
Brush : Razorock Plissoft 24mm synthetic.Great brush I have used for the last 3 years.
Pre-shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
Post : Razorock King Louis aftershave with witch hazel + Nivea men balm.
Results:10/10 or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 small blemish weeper = excellent very close shave, it does not get better for myself.

Have some great shaves!

A second day of using Klar Seifen soap. The brush today is a B&B LE 2011. Rudy Vey made this brush and it does an excellent job. The razor is my Wolfman WR2 SB 1.05 loaded with a Personna Medical Prep blade that has been used four times. The aftershave is Thayers WH and Pinaud Clubman. After a shower, some Jimmy Choo Man Intense.

A great shave. 10/10.

Have a great Sunday.

GREAT Sunday shave. Only issue is spot from that blade yesterday. Went back to a DE with a fresh yellow Gillette blade. It gave me a great shave only an issue on the spot on my neck. Great post shave feel 4 hours later. Even the wife looked up and felt and said how great it feels. That's a win.

8.8/10
