JUST A PERFECT SHAVE SETUP WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS.
dtownvino recommended a blade to try, the Personna Red (Israeli). I used it with the Lambda Ares SS, Ethos Vanilla Safi and the Semogue Mistura (Moriarty ). This turned out to be a great combination. The Ares is just a flawless tool. Combined with the Ethos soap and the blade, the Shave was just a pleasure. It was a BBS shave with no issues, no irritation during or after and no blood. Thank you to you all for helping me make the right decisions on hardware, software and technique. These guys are but a few of the terrific members on this forum that are more than willing to help you with any questions you have.
PRE: ETHOS FIRST LATHER (my preference over the Cube or the Razor Emporium Pre Shave bar)
BOWL: CAYUEN DOMINO
BRUSH: SEMOGUE MISTURA
SOAP: ETHOS VANILLA SAFI
BLADE: PERSONNA ISRAELI RED
RAZOR: THE ONE AND ONLY ARES SS
POST: WARM/COLD RINSE, ALUM, WITCH HAZEL
A/S: ETHOS VANILLA SAFI
SCORE: 10/10 BBS+
