    PSC Caffeinated After Shave

    The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Techmatic razor with a Gillette Techmatic Band blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor: Gillette Fatboy E4-MFG 1959 4th qtr, excellent adjustable razor, easy to adjust while in use and reasonable under the nose to clean up. Some blade tab overhang.
    Blade: Gillette Astra SP(3) excellent blade, Sharp & smooth with good longevity. I like to use this blade as my standard for testing new razors and blades.
    Soap: Colonel Conk, mild scent bayrum with great lather qualities. Good post feel & excellent protection IMO.
    Brush: Omega Boar brush, have had this brush for some time, well made after what I did to get rid of the funk 4 years ago. Still lathers well and enjoy a boar brush that is nicely broke in. As a Greenhorn I boiled, microwaved it and used Mr Clean a number of times and this brush held up to all the things not to do, WELL MADE. The handle cracked because its so dry in the house during winters in Northern Alberta Canada.
    Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 with pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Ogallala aftershave + a dollop Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] excellent shave with my Gillette Fatboy with a Gillette Astra SP.
