The R. Saitō SK family has three models: the SK 1, 2, and 3. I have the 2 and 3. The Saitō SK 1 was not on my wanted list; it's pretty extreme.

Van der Hagen TTO razor
Oster blade lube
Zomchi superior platinum blade
Rite Aid platinum chrome blade
Leponix synthetic brush
Leponix sandalwood shaving soap in a TOBS jar
British Sterling aftershave
Sandalwood Reve cologne

Warm shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash

The Leponix soap is better than I expected for a bundled product. The old TOBS container gives me great storage and a useful place to build a lather. Added advantage: it's paid for. The Zomchi blade gave up before I finished the first pass. I had to change out the Zomchi with a Rite Aid. It solidered on to the end of the shave. I had to employ the Oster blade lube (mineral oil) to stop the squeezing of the silo door mechanism. I bought it to lube the blades on my hair clippers but it is food grade mineral oil and suitable for a variety of jobs including cutting fluid for my oil stones and other jobs. I finished my first pass with the Rite Aid the did a second and third pass. I went straight to the British Sterling for the finish and added a bit of Sandalwood Reve as an embellishment.
