    I was going to use Castle Forbes this morning, but given the day, it would have been a little too cheerful a lavender.
    So I chose a more serious one...

    Razor: Valet auto-strop C1 Canadian variant- Mfg 1920's, interesting razor because of the Strop mechanism incorporated into the razor for it's time era. I modified the gap from 11/1000 to 7/1000 of inch for a much smoother shave.
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(8 binned) modified, excellent blade for sharpness, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable.
    Soap: Ogallala Bayrum + sandal wood, nice Bayrum scent with some clove added to make it interesting.
    Brush: Yaqi Cola 22mm synthetic, great lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrub + great lather painter. Nice handle to grip.
    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: Witch hazel + Ogallala Bayrum + sandalwood[​IMG] + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] great shave with Valet Auto strop with a modified coated Gem blade.
