Gem Contour II razor
Gem Stainless blade
WD Synthetic brush
TSD Iced Lemon Grass SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
TSD 2X Mentholated Lemon Grass A/S

The Contour II worked pretty well. I think a carbon steel blade would be better for me as I find the stainless blades very mild. Needed a bit of extra work but a pretty darn nice shave was had. Now go enjoy your day folks

Schick E2 and another excellent shave with the Kai Mild AC blade. One smooth cue ball. Great post shave feel with the Coates and a touch of my shave oil.

Tuesday, October 10, 2017 Shave of the Day:

Prep  |  Proraso Pre-Post
Razor  |  iKon Tech / Astra SP
Brush  |  RazoRock Tri-Color Synthetic
Soap  |  Barrister & Mann Latha Sandalwood
A/S  |  Catie's Bubbles Santal Sensuelle Splash

For Old Time's Sake.
Razor > Wilkinson Protector. It was an unattractive $3.95 red plastic that I called "My Red Blob". Ergonomically the best razor I have ever held. I used it for 20 years with its
Blade > Wilkinson Twin edge cartridge. When Wilkinson sold out to Schick, Schick decided to improve the perfect blade and succeeded in ruining it. It was good for me because it eventually led me to the Rolls Razor and the GEMs and other single edge shavers.
Brush > Frank Shave Synthetic. My second syn. It is still excellent.
Soap > any old aerosol. That is probably why shaving was a chore back then. I did try Williams Mug Shaving Soap which sent me quickly back to aerosols.
After Shave > Rarely used but Aqua Velva was cheap.  I still like its three flavours. I do wish they would sell it in a proper spray bottle though.
