    Razor: Gillette New long open comb, Canadian variant, Mfg 1930's, nice mid range, light touch gives good results, nice handle.
    Blade: Polsilver SI (5) excellent blade, Sharp & Smooth, I will cork this blade on 1 use to smooth it out a little.
    Soap: Razorock Irish Country side, mild scent with Exccelentt lather qualities. Excellent protection.
    Brush: Yaqi Dandelion 24mm cashmere knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + great lather painter.
    Pre shave: 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.
    Post shave: witch hazel beard area skin cleaning, Pinaud clubman + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer balm(excellent + scentless)
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= [​IMG] excellent shave with my Gillette New OC + Polisilver SI blade.
