Parker adjustable injector, Schick injector blade, shave 7


Razor set at 5. Blade is still holding up with a BBS finish achieved. Interesting observation on soaps. I've been using this kokum butter soap by PAA called Tokyo Rose that I acquired a while back in a lot of items I purchased. It makes a good lather but isn't very slick. The smell can be described as drain cleaner like. I happened to switch up to the Taconic pump soaps I bought with the razor and what a difference. This stuff is slick as they come and the shaves are really much smoother because of it. I don't know what the ingredients are in it that make it this slick but I do recommend it to try if you like soaps like this.

SOTD, Thur, Dec 31st 2020

Razor: KAI AC style folding Shavette- well built it seems, easy to maneuver over face, good way to try a AC shavette IMO.
Blade: Kai Protouch guarded (5) excellent blade for learning or just shaving, It's remarkable how advanced Artist club blades are.
Soap: Ogallala Bayrum & Sandal wood, very nice scent with a touch of clove. The soap has excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Artic sky 24 mm knot, excellent lather creator + heavenly cloud like soft tips with a nice scrub with a some back bone.
Pre shave: brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: witch hazel +Ogallala bay rum & sandal wood lotion + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Kai AC folding Shavette + Kai Protouch blade.


Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!
