Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #395 two-band badger
J.A. Henckels 5/8
CWR
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #395 two-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels 5/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sublime early morning shave. Feather is still kicking ass with the Taiga and taking whiskers. Only two other razors in my den that have tamed the Feather in such a way that takes away that initial harsh feeling of the Feather blade feel on the skin. One is the Gillette RFB which is as good as it gets in terms of smoothness & efficiency and the other is the the RR Mamba .70 with it’s super smooth glide and mild feel on the skin. The Taiga bridges both of those for me. Honorable mention to the Gibbs Adjustable but, in my experience the Taiga does it just a wee bit better. The chink in the armor of this razor? Logistics and availability as it has to come from Russia and wait times are quite long. But, if you can hack out the wait & price, definitely worth considering as a future acquisition. Great day & shaves to all plus, stay safe my shaving brethren.....

Saturday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new Derby
Bundubeard Rooi Afrikaner SS
Nivea Cool Kick ASB
Sir Canada Cedar AS Splash

As always I enjoyed using one of Jaco’s terrific soaps - the Rooi Afrikaner has such a beautiful scent, the tallow base produces wonderful lather that’s so easy to create, and it gives lots of slickness as well as a very soothing postshave feeling. I don’t care for the scent of the Nivea Cool Kick balm but it does protect against dryness or irritation, and the Canada Cedar aftershave is not Canadian at all - it’s from Germany and it smells beautiful. Three passes with the brand new Derby gave me a cracking good shave!

Wishing you all good health and be safe!
