Very nice shave, I look forward to using the Streamline as she gives as smooth a 2 pass BBS (with touch-up/s) as does my Kami. Still deciding on a Grail razor this could certainly up there, but I won’t decide till I get an Alpha Spirit (in Bronze) and compare the “4”’ in contention for this title!! I’m liking the Areffa product but doesn’t surpass Washpool No2 for me, obviously YMMV.
 
Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; TroyCraft, “Red Desert” Supplejack timber, Brass plate/s, Red Earth Candy resin with fine Gold glitter handle and a 28mm (x TF), Pure Boar knot (Brush No 1a)
Soap; Washpool, No 2 (Lemongrass, Lime & Lemon Myrtle) in an original Franklin Toiletry Co 1976 Barbershop Mug. A TOP Aussie product, so is their No1 & 3 IMHO. Grail.
Razor; Gem Micromatic Open Comb (MMOC) 1937, as in a Maroon Streamline case.
Blade; Personna, GEM PTFE coated.
Post-shave; @SpeedyPC recipe 500mls, Wahl Traditional Bay Rum 500mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 100mls, Bay Essential Oil 25mls and Vit E 5mls (Mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);

Very nice shave, the MMOC is more aggressive and not as smooth and efficient as my Streamline but a pleasure to use. The soap and A/S, well (YMMV) but for DE, SE and Kamisori shaving the slickness, lather and post shave scent/moisturised skin is TOPS for me!!
