Gem OCMM - Gem PTFE Stainless Blade (6) Ikon Old Type Bulldog - Voskhod (2) Simspon Chubby 2 Best Speick Stick / Cream Super Lather Alum Boosted Superior 70 Bay Rum Started the first pass with the OCMM, but the blade was tuggy. Switched to the Old Type Ikon with Bulldog handle for the second and third pass. Finished with a little more irritation then I would have liked, but overall a very close shave with no weepers.
