Shaving recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower:/Asda Sea Salt & Fennel Extract 2 in1 Shower Gel.

Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Simple Pure Bar Soap.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia Synthetic.
Bowl Lather.
Bowl : Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.
Lather: MWF.
Blade: Dorco Prime Platinum. (D1)
Razor: Parker Variant. (Settings) 2.5-wtg,3.5-atg, + Pick ups.

Post:
Cold water Face Wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./P&G Old Spice Original ASL./Cien Sensitive ASB.

Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend. When i first started to use MWF i struggled to get a good lather. However, once i realised you just load it up with a damp brush, add water to the tips of the brush in between each pass and hey presto it creates an acceptable slick lather....."Being on a over zealous quest to achieve perfection from any shaving soap or any shaving item as a matter of fact is pointless IMHO".. Some shaving soaps and creams work better than others but all create an acceptable lather with a little effort & patience...Now i absolutely love MWF.

The Dorco Prime Platinum paired together with the Parker Variant wonderfully making a smooth efficient duo.

A enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Cien Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

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

Saturday's Shave

Frankenrazor Week

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #217
Gillette NEW Flat Bottom Open Comb/No Comb Frankenrazor
PolSilver
English Leather AS

The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette NEW Flat Bottom Open Comb/No Comb Frankenrazor with a PolSilver Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Saturday morning:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 4
RVT Roseline SS
Fino ASB
Murray & Lanman Florida Water AS Splash
Quorum EdT

It was my dear friend Mo who got me started on these great South African soaps a little over four years ago when he sent me this Roseline as well as a bunch of other ones. The Roseline has almost the same scent as the discontinued Williams stick which I find very pleasant - in fact it’s probably the only rosy scented soap that I really like, the lather is excellent, and it’s got pretty good skincare. The Fino balm is so soothing and moisturizing so it’s perfect for sensitive skin and it’s unscented. The Florida Water smells so old school barbershoppy, and it works very well as an aftershave. Two passes were more than sufficient to give me a really good BBS shave!

Have a good weekend - be well and safe!

DE SOTD, Sat. March 19th 2022

Razor: Yaqi TFC adjustable- Mfg 2021> great adjustable razor, I like using it on settings (3,3, 3.5 pickups) the results are stellar and can not complain. Comfort is just right for me and enjoy the shave mostly. Designed off the 1930's Gibbs adjustable razor & DE 89 head + also uses Gillette patent standard blades. Gibbs razors used proprietary blades.
Blade: Gillette 7oClock SP- sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap: Gillette Pure cream- this cream makes excellent ubber lather from left over other soap, nice fresh scent + excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm orbital ring boar- excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle tips, great 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 + razor. Warm lather I enjoy.
Post shave: Razorock King Louis with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion + scentless.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=excellent shave with my Yaqi TFC adjustable with a Gillette 7oClock.


Have some great shaves!
