Razor: Maggard Razors Slant head chrome
Blade: GSB (fourth and final shave)
Brush: Omega S-Brush 10019
Pre-shave: Prep
Soap: Maggard Razors Orange Menthol
After-shave: Fine Snake Bite

Rating 4/10 - It was a rough shave for me. I tried that GSB in a more aggressive razor and it did great on my sides, but the neck is still slightly irritated a few hours later. That razor and everything else has been wonderful before so I have to come to terms with the fact that the Gillette Silver Blue blades are not going to work for my face, or with my razors so far tried. I have four more in the pack and will save for some of the other razors that I own to try later, but they are now one of my least favorite.

I should almost start calling it Schick Sunday for myself, I like my Schick, GEM ..... razors and they usually deliver a nice shave when technique is good with a sharp blade. Schick made a lot of interesting (L type)theme razors also and I really enjoy that part of their history of injector razors.

Razor : Schick Canadian E2 injector- MFG 1930's
Blade: Personna SS PTFE injector (4)
Soap: Tabac
Brush: Yaki Cashmere knot 24 mm
Pre shave: Brush wash face with CeraVe hand bar soap + dab Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Post shave: Dickinson's witch hazel
Post shave : Nivea balm + Fine fresh Vetiver AS with witch hazel
Results: 9/10 or CCS,DFS,BBS + aftershave indicated minor irritation + 2 tiny blemish weepers=

Have some great shaves!

Solid shave again and now I'm familiar with the Karve moved back up to the "B" plate and got a wonderful BBS shave with no irritation at all.
Said it before but for sensitive skin this Pre De Provence is in my top 3 and the Karve razor just keeps performing.
