Razor: Gillette Old Style Open Comb w/ Fat Handle Tech handle
Blade: Gillette Platinum (5)
Brush: Omega 10049 Pro Boar
Pre: Proraso Green Pre-shave Cream
Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Post: Proraso Green After Shave
Beard: Proraso Cypress and Vetyver Beard Balm

Rating: 9/10 - DFS. It was a nice shave with a razor that is more aggressive, but I liked the shave I got. It really felt like it could go through just about any growth though, so maybe it will be the razor to remove all the facial hair from no-shave-november.

Razor: Gillette Sheraton
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (5)
Brush: Fuller with TGN Pure Black Badger knot
Pre-Shave: Simpson's Pre-Shave oil
Soap: RazoRock Gold
Aftershave: Avon Spice
After Care: Thayer's Witch Hazel

Rate: 9.5/10

It was a good thing I recalled how aggressive the Sheraton can be. If I weren't mindful of my technique then I certainly would have had some irritation. As it stood though I got an excellent shave CCS+ I opted not to chase a BBS but came darn near anyway. The Sheraton is a nice efficient shaver and a work of art as well.
