    SOTD : 19th December 2020.

    ​
    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower / Cussons Imperial Leather ~ Arctic Ocean & Icelandic Moss Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Yardley ~ English Lavender Bar Soap + Wilko Men's shave Oil.
    Brush: Yaqi ~ Sagrada Familia 24mm Synthetic.
    Bowl Lather.
    Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.
    Lather : omega eucalyptus shaving cream
    Blade: Mers: ~ Supershave X 'Snapped in 1/2'. (1)
    Razor: Yaqi Katana.

    Post:
    Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade (~Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Floid ~ Mentolado Vigoroso ASL./ Creightons ~Sensitive PSB.

    Greetings,

    Another new shave set up to start the weekend....Maiden shave with the SuperShave X 'Snapped in 1/2' making another comfortably smooth assertive duo.
    I intend to use the Yaqi Katana with my SOTD's until the end of 2020 after the comfortable error-free shaves i've had from this fantastic efficient razor.
    It's been a while since i last used the Omega shaving cream and forgot how much easy it is to create a slick protective lather, with a good kick from the Eucalyptus oil to give my face sensors a wake up call on this fresh morning.

    A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable/near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Creightons ~Sensitive PSB.

    My face is feeling super smooth cool, and smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Razor: Charcoal Goods Everyday Razor (being forwarded to Canada)
    Blade: Wizamet (1)
    Brush: SV 2.0 Bamboo
    Soap: Pannacrema Nuavia Rossa
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Nivea Deep Bourbon & Vanilla
    Fragrance: Nuit D'Issey Noir Argent

    I'm the shuttle service for this razor to Alan in Canada and got to take it for a ride today. Nice smooth shave. If I see one in a BST for a good price I would add it to the den but don't feel the need to rush out and get one. The Yates has me VERY picky at the moment but anyone that knows me, knows the moments change in a moment :D Great soap and scent so ready for what the day wants to throw at me................after some coffee. Have a great day Everyone !!!!

    The Vikings Blade Emperor did an excellent job of clearing the whiskers. Greatest adjustable razor of all time? Hardly but, it’s a good razor that is solidly built and it does the job well enough. A great day and shaves to all...    ​
