Pre      -  Shower
Brush  -  Semogue SOC TAJ Boar
Soap   -  Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Razor  -  GEM MicroMatic Open Comb
Blade  -  GEM PTFE S/S (2)
Post    -  Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm   -  Baxter's / Argan Oil home mixed Balm
A/S     -  Williams Aqua Velva Formula One



The lather started off a bit thin today, either too much water left in the brush or not enough loading, i revisited the soap to reload and all went well after that.
It is always a pleasure to use this wonderful shaving tool and today was no exception, 2 passes WTG then ATG for a close BBS finish.
I always found the Baxter's balm a bit "sticky" on its own so mixed it with some Argan oil about 75 Baxter's/25 Argan ratio, not a lot needed, however, it does sink in much more quickly.
A nice splash of the Williams splash which for me seems like a real skin food and i am done.
Very nice.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Gorgeous looking cased razor !
