    I posted a little catch up in the current 30DC thread yesterday. The sandwich life of having an elderly parent (and old dog), full time work with traveling, along with 2 kids + wifey has been consuming the time.

    When I work from home instead of an open office environment my whole den becomes available. Today potent scents were chosen.

    Shower: B&M Cologne Russe bar soap
    Shave soap: B&M Cologne Russe
    Razor: Rex Envoy
    Brush: Razorock Hive 24
    Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Gratiot League Square

    Great shave! Might be the same for tomorrow, but definitely Saturday for a wedding.

    Good shaves to all!

    The ‘Swede’ goes on vacation shave.
    Very nice scent changes from Vida, slightly punchy citrus and booze sitting on cozy woods is what I get. Reminded me of a mexican jungle vacation.

    SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3, 2021

    Instead of returning to my regular MWF, I pulled out the Nancy Boy Signature Scent shave cream and matching balm. Nancy Boy is one of the best kept secrets in the wet shaving community. They've been a fixture for almost 25 years. I like the simple clean soapy scent that pairs well with just about any other, and the post shave skin benefits rival MWF.

    The firm does no direct marketing of any kind, preferring to rely on word of mouth which has served them well, and allowed them to source all organic ingredients. They provide two other varieties of shave cream. The scents, being organically sourced, and not chemically enhanced are subtle, and may not be the right choice for those of you who prefer strong scents.

    The Wade & Butcher 7/8 is a lovely razor that feels good in hand and holds the kind of edge one would expect from Sheffield steel. A touchup on the 9 Ball Slate followed by a run through the constroption last night set things up for what turned out to be an excellent mug shave. Two and a half passes delivered a delightfully smooth result.

    With all the Kickstarter brouhaha coming out of Supply Razor with two new models and a new Seki City, Japan source for their injector blades, I realized I’d been neglecting one of my favorite SEs. I prefer the Schick Twin injector blades in my SS model. I understand the need for continuing development, but how does one improve existing perfection. I initially signed up to support the new injector, but cancelled. After this morning’s great two pass ATG noggin shave, I’m glad I did. I’m velveteen smooth from shoulders to dome.

    RAZOR: Wade & Butcher 7/8 (Mug), SS Supply (Dome)
    BLADE: Schick Injector Twinblade
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: MrEE LE #007 Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid Knot
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature Scent AS Balm.

    The Proraso Sandalwood lathered well with the Jayaruh 414 Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Double Ring Razor with an Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    A very nice shave early this morning. This older Jeeves soap is still a top tier lather for me and the Goodwill joins the list of awesome NEW shavers. It is replated in gold, which is ironic given how these razors were given away originally. Splashed on some Brut to make it a Fougere Friday.
    Have a great Friday all!

    That is some nice looking lather, Ethos makes some high end soap products & Lavender is one of his better products from my understanding.

    Razor: Yaqi V2 Excalibur AC 50mm- Mfg 2021> great tame mid range, great little head design, you have to do a top cap visual alignment to the safety bar because they allowed clearances, easy to work the face and affordable for most folks. Blades cost more than the razor head if bought with out handle.
    Blade: Schick proline 50mm P30 AC (4)- sharp & smooth, with reasonable longevity. I like using them, nice blade.
    Soap: Cyril R Salter Indian Sandalwood cream. Very nice scent with excellent lather qualities. (misted)
    Brush: Yaqi Viper 24mm boar brush- excellent lather generator, soft split end bristles, nice scrub, great lather painter. Favorite boar brush out of 3.
    Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a Dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Witch hazel cleanse + Ogallala Bayrum & Sandal wood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion(balm) + scentless.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weeper =[​IMG]Excellent shave with my Yaqi V2 Excalibur with a Schick P30 blade.
