SE SOTD, Wednesday, June 5th 2024

Razor : Valet Auto-strop C1 Canadian variant. Mfg 1920's, mid range & upper mid range. This razor was abused by previous owners and I fixed it best as I could to be used 100 years later. I did modify the gap from 11/1000 to 7/1000 inch to help smooth the shave out. Had a close and comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (modified), very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to use .
Soap : Razorock Don Marco, distinct citrus scents with great lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Ever help full" 22 mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow soft tips, very nice scrubber + great lather painter.
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 : Italian barber Amici splash with witch hazel + 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 Valet auto-strop C1 model razor with a modified Gem coated blade.

Have some great shaves!

My third shave with any type of injector. Two days prior it was a PAL Injecto-matic. The vintage blades are all I have just now. The injector format is growing on me. I have the feeling I'll never get nicks or weepers with one of these.
