    SOTD, Fri,Feb 21st 2020, modified my C1 Valet Auto-strop blade gap [​IMG]in 2019(months ago) from .011 to .007 thousands of a inch to smooth out the shave, reasonably easy to do IMO. Great shave.

    Razor : Valet auto-strop C1 Canadian variant- MFG 1920's to 1930's all over the world.
    Blade: Modified Gem Personna SS PTFE (2)
    Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch- great soap IMO.(mild scent)
    Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24mm with black marble handle.
    Pre-shave : Brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
    Post shave: Pinaud Clubman with witch Hazel + Nivea sensitive balm.
    Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]
