  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Flare Tip Superspeed A1 (1955)
  • Blade: Lord Super Chrome (1)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Presto Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Moisturizing Post Shave Balm

First time using this razor in a long time, and first time ever with this blade. Pleased to discover that the combo worked quite well for me. Also, I didn't shave all weekend, so this was a particularly satisfying shave today.
