    Razor: Gillette old type 3pc with a Tech fat handle- Mfg 1920's, excellent mid range, well used and enjoyed according to wear by previous owners. One of Gillette's better razors in some ways IMO. Lots of blade tab on this razor model that was not really necessary.
    Blade: Gillette silver blue [​IMG] - Excellent blade, sharp & smoooth with reasonable longevity.
    Soap: Razorock what the puck orange, really nice citrus scent soap with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi 24mm 2band(finest)- excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, great scrub + great lather painter, nice brush.
    Pre shave: always enjoy this part of my routine, Brush wash my 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. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: witch hazel + Nivea refreshing AS + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =[​IMG]excellent shave with my Gillette old type with a GSB blade.
