Sunday:
Schick Krona/Gillette Platinum
Simpson Chubby 2 Super
DR Harris rose shave cream (sample) (Thanks, Tim!)
Dickinson's witch hazel w/lavender EO and glycerin added
Trumper Coral Skin Food
Hermes Equipage (vintage)
The Harris rose shave cream is a winner. Heavily dyed, noted, and I wish they wouldn't, but I'm used to the (vintage) Harris lavender, which performs similarly. It's a very dense cream with plenty of cushion and very good glide.

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)
A fellow SE wetshaver 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.
