Razor : Gem Jr Parade 1912 with baton taper handle. Mfg 1943, tame mid range. Well built to last generations and still gives a wonderful shave in the right hands. I really enjoy this tapered handle and wish there where more similar handles.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (4) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier, very nice unique scent that turns my crank + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi " Cola" 22mm synthetic. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very enjoyable small synthetic and is not a lather hog for sure.
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 : Yaqi Musketeer rapier splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem Jr Parade 1912 with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!
