    Razor : Star bar #4 Lather catcher model- Mfg 1929-30, tame mid range, well built for that era & with some care will last generations, With a new Gem PTFE blade this razor will give any razor I own a run for performance results at end of shave IMO. Very enjoyable shave this morning.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (1) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Razorock The Dead Sea- very unique scent that is addictive to myself + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Mountain lake" 24mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, excellent splay scrubber, great lather painter. Nice handle in the hand to use with a very good knot.
    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 : Razorock The Dead sea [​IMG] with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper=[​IMG] Excellent shave this morning with my Star bar #4 with a coated Gem blade.

    Cyril Salter. MS ED2band
    L’Occitane Cade soap
    ER Bathroom set
    Gem S/S ( 4 )
    Tuff Green A/S Lotion

    Am trying to reduce my facial dryness by shaving more regularly, which means during the process I have a good pre wash with a glycerine soap and only use Shaving soaps which I kmow leave the skin soft after the Shave. A very comfortable Shave today not too close a finish but face left feeling refreshed.

    ER 1914
    Gem S/S ( 4 )

    Not my favourite ER Razor because of its short handle, but I still manage to get a decent Shave with it. I have kept this one as it is a 12T version with decent blade stops.

    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tea Tree Body Bar
    Semogue Owners Club
    Schick Band-Razor
    Schick Band Blade
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel

    The Tea Tree Body Bar lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Band-Razor and the Schick Band Blade didn't seem to make a lick of difference. So, I reached for my SlimGem Schick 3d razor, and it gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... I will be ditching the Schick Band-Razor for Roger's Schick-type razor for the rest of the week.
