    Saturday:

    hot shower with Aveeno unscented body wash
    ShaveSecret PSO
    Schick Krona 3 passes
    Personna Super Platinum (1)
    Institut Karite soap in a warm mug
    TSD Member boar
    Thayers Cucumber WH
    Henri et Victoria Bergamot Vetiver A/S balm

    Wonderfully smooth shave with this razor/blade combo so I was surprised to see a couple of weepers appear. A quick bit of alum block (no sting) took care of them though.

    Have a fine Saturday, gents!

    Razor: Gillette Rocket SS X1 - Mfg 1952 1st qtr, nice milder razor, great with a Kai SS blade.
    Blade: Kai SS (8) Sharp & smooth + extra wide(.009" thousands) great longevity, bit pricey but worth every penny spent IMO.
    Soap: CRSalter Indian Sandal wood- great scent with excellent protection.
    Brush: Yaqi Evil Zebra knot 26mm- softer brush with some back bone and pleasure to paint with those cloud like tips, nice scrub.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Clear Aloe Vera gel of the cleaned beard area.
    Prep:Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.WTG + ATG+ pickups.
    Post shave: Proraso red sandalwood with witch Hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] Excellent shave with this Gillette Rocket SS combined with a Kai SS.

    I ordered a full bath/shaving set of Kiritimati this morning. It's available to buy again. I tried a sample months ago and really love this scent and it's going to be my Christmas Day fragrance this year.

    SUNDAY'S SHAVE​

    [​IMG] <- tiny splash bottles 2013'ish vintage

    Razor - Gillette Red Tip Superspeed circa 1955-1960 (Re-plated in Satin-Nickel Finish and re-painted tip in Radiant Red color by Razor Emporium.)
    Blade - [​IMG] *5th shave
    Shave Brush - Ever-Ready 1960's vintage (Polished and re-knotted with a synthetic 26mm Ubersoft II knot from Envyshave by Razor Emporium.)
    Shave Stand by by Desire Metal Works
    Suds - Procter & Gamble Old Spice "Original" Cream (Made in India) *I dried it out for months into a hard soap.
    Shave Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Cold Spices
    Aftershave - Procter & Gamble Old Spice "Classic" *(pre-2016 scent change bottles)
    Post-Shave Balm - Advanced Clinicals Anti-aging Hyaluronic Acid Cream
    Deodorant - Procter & Gamble Old Spice "Classic"
    Fragrance - Procter & Gamble Old Spice "Classic" *(pre-2016 scent change bottles)

    ***EDIT - 3 pass + minor spot clean up. Excellent shave. I actually used the Advanced Clinicals Cream as a pre-shave as well as a post-shave balm. I think it helped the Old Spice shave cream get a bit more protection. I wanted a BBS shave because I intend on skipping shaving tomorrow while I work from home.
