Razor: Gillette reg Flare SS tip B2- Mfg 1956 2qtr, mild razor, very carefree shave with a reg blade, good results with a Kai blade.

Brush: Yaqi Red zebra handle 26mm, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice gentle scrub + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash 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: Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my reg Flare tip with a Kai SS blade.

awesome..replated regent/aristocrat?.looks lovely..

 

Yep. Replated Aristocrat. It was an antique store find. Looked absolutely terrible but shaved really well. Luckily the replating didn’t impact the shave quality. It’s one of my favorites.

 

very cool,looks awesome...i thought it was a president at first glance..thank you for posting it..

 

Awesome shave and pic Gary. The #58 is my all time favorite! I have two complete sets, plus an aluminum one without a case.

 

Thank you Gary
