Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM OCMM
Blade: GEM Blue Star Carbon
Brush: Semogue 830 Boar
Soap: Cella
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)
The first shave with a new Blue Star carbon blade in the OCMM is for the me as good as wet shaving can get! After a week of using nothing but injectors and some wonderful shaves, the OCMM really stands out above all the competition. Of course like everything in traditional shaving your experiences may differ from mine.

Joyless shave - using soap and a brush makes such a big difference. I can't see myself going travelling for a year next year without my v1 Muhle STF. I think I prefer Bic's 'Bic 1 Sensitive' to the Bic Metal.
