    Razor : Gem Damaskeene 1912 OC- Mfg 1912-17, mild to tame mid range, works great with a modern Gem PTFE blade. This 1912 concept razor was the start of a very prosperous razor for Gem Manufacturing(ASR) and was just simply a success story and they manufactured millions of them over the decades into the 1940's from my limited research.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (4) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest razor blade to handle.
    Soap : Razorock Don Marco, nice citrus scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Casino clubs" 26mm timber wolf synthetic[​IMG], excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
    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 + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Italian barber(Razorock) Amici AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : [​IMG] or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave with my Damaskeene 1912 OC with a coated Gem blade.
