    Razor : Schick injector adjustable model 3, Mfg 1970-72, excellent adjustable and built well enough to last with some care. The Schick adjustable will take all the different variants of blades that fit any Schick injector. They also take the AC 50mm blades also when modified to length. Have been experimenting with a simple blade hack to smooth the shave a little.
    Blade : Personna SS PTFE(3) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
    Soap : Razorock Fresco XXX, nice clean mild scent(mild mentholated) with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "casino clubs" 26mm timber wolf synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather generator. The 26mm synthetic brushes are impressive IMO.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG(4.5) + ATG(4.5) + pickups(9setting).
    Post shave : Razorock XXX Fresco with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Schick M3 adjustable with a modified Personna injector blade.
