SoS: May 2021

I'm slowly getting used to the amount of people who can move around freely and I've heard that those who are vaccinated will be allowed to go around without a mask.
Farewell to bank robberies....
Masks used to be a great accessory!

Now, though, anyone will see how smooth I am....

Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Tom's 3D Printed Brush
EndGem 3D Printed Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Cella After Shave Balm

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the EndGem 3D Printed Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Happy shaving - Karl

 

I have to say that you have a great bang-for-buck shaves.

 

Seems odd now that you bring it up. That's on the "East" coast. LOL!

 

Sure is, or my name isn't Paul, which it is, so it is.

 

It most certainly is Aqua Velva time these days.

 

LOL thanks buddy. Yeah, I grew up kinda middle class and somehow I seem to migrate to more readily available software. I do appreciate nice things and do have a pretty large collection of razors (and some soaps / creams - definitely more than I need and use routinely). I definitely appreciate others who have perfectly matched soaps and aftershave splashes... I have a few favorites when it comes to my aftershaves and some of them are related to memories of my dad and grandfather shaving. It’s awesome seeing how inventive everyone is with their shaves and pics.

Razor: Yaqi Excalibur 50mm- nice lower midrange, easy to maneuver around the face, like the feel of the razor & light weight. Great daily driver for some folks. Blade is starting to drop off a little.
Blade: Feather pro AC 50mm(5)- excellent blade, Sharp & smooth, longevity?
Soap: Razorock XXX- nice clean scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow 26mm brown whiskers- excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber+ great lather painter.
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: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Feather pro blade, still hitting the sweet spot.(blade starting to drop off a little)


Have some great shaves!
