King C. Gillette three piece razor
Astra superior platinum blade (green russian)
Van der Hagen Delux shaving soap
Nivea aftershave balm
Just like Polo knock off purchased at Family Dollar
Hot shower prep
This is a fairly wallet friendly shave though it wasn't planned that way. The Vam der Hagen soap whipped up a lather without a fuss. The Astra was on its third shave and performed quite well. Two passes overall and a third on the trouble spots. The Nivea aftershave balm could calm a bad straight razor shave. The Just like Polo spray colonge did a bit of male aroma therapy. It raised my spirits from a pretty dreary snowy day.

Greetings,
The Baili BD 191 "Tech Clone" I originally bought to build a introduction starter kit for a workmate who was curious to try out traditional wet shaving, but like a lot of people he expected too much too soon and reverted back to using disposable/cartridge razors again....So he returned the Baili BD 191 razor to me along with a few other shaving items thanking me, saying it wasn't for him...Each to their own choice.
My only minor criticism with the Baili BD191 is the handle is slippery when wet, but I rub my fingertips with a alum block which give a better grip when shaving with it.
Like the Baili BD177 Rose Gold TTO & Kanzy K100 razors, the Baili BD 191 has a "closed head design" which gives extra protection and no risk of catching my ear lobes or under my nose with the blade ends when shaving, which is something I like very much about all three razors.
The long hefty teardrop handle makes the razor 'bottom heavy' which for my personal preference is a bonus for me as the weight of the razor does all the work with no pressure needed to be added when shaving...A very good razor apart from the slippery handle.
An acceptable close 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Essentials No. 15 EdP to the pulse points.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.
Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
RR 400 - SE Plissoft noir
Lea Classic soap
Schick E2 - Canada WW2 issue
NOS Schick Platinum- Sweden ( 1 )
Have been suffering again from face irritation related to scalp condition, which is not responding to Shampoo as normal.
Decided as face less sore to Shave today, and broke a long run of AC/SE Shaves by using an Injector.
Made sure that I did initial clearance with short strokes and did not rush. This seemed to do the trick, and was pleased to have cleared most areas quite well.
