- Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
- Brush: Ever Ready 200 Boar
- Soap: TSD Acqua di Gio Soap
- Razor: '73 Stick Schick Injector
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated Injector (shave 6)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
- A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & AOS Lavender ASB
- EDT: SCS Blend 2-11 EDT
- Result: After going two days with out a razor touching my face I felt a great need to shave. And did I ever get a great BBS result. The Pella blade is on it's last legs. I think I will change it out next time I use the Stick Schick. The TSD Acqua di Gio soap is just a sample but I think I will be buying a full sized puck from them. Like the scent and it lathers very well on my face once loaded from the dish.

Sunday Evening:
GEM G-bar razor (single edge)
Ted Pella GEM blade (stainless steel with PTFE coating)
Semogue 1305 brush (boar)
Cella soft shaving soap
Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel (Astringent: 10% alcohol, no -parabens, no burn)
Bryce/Possum sent me some of the GEM stainless blades with PTFE coating sold by Ted Pella, to give them a try. This was the smoothest SE blade I have used, though it wasn't quite as sharp as the carbon steel Treets and GEM Blue Stars. My Sunday night shaves are my best, not having shaved since Thursday night, so I'll see how this goes later in the week, for comparison. At this point, I am favorably inclined to order some of these (along with some carbon steel ones) from Ted Pella, which I wasn't before. Thanks, Bryce!
