Sunday morning:

Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Shark day 5
Erasmic Supreme Shaving Stick
Fino ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme EdT

This Erasmic Supreme stick is fabulous and I have it for a very long time. It’s glycerine based, I believe and it has the same beautiful old school scent as the bowl version, it gives great lather that has lots of slickness, cushion, and protection, not to mention how soothing and moisturizing it is. The Fino balm is another South African treasure, and the Polar Ice aftershave is a Canadian barbershop classic with a lovely scent that seems to compliment the Yves Saint Laurent fragrance very well. This Junjie razor gave me a brilliant BBS shave with no issues whatsoever!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!

Yesterday's Shave

Yaqi artist club head.
Yaqi stainless steel handle.
Feather Super Pro blade (fresh).
Yaqi synthetic brush.
Lakewood Soap Company Smokeberry shave soap.
Yaqi ceramic shave bowl.
Cremo Bourbon and Oak EdT.

I decided to change things up a little and brought out the Yaqi A/C razor. It does an excellent job and is fun to drive.

I spent most of the day yesterday with my wife at a few local antique malls. I did score a few razors and a puck of old Colgate. The icing on the cake was a slightly used, excellent shape Fat Boy for $5.95.

Happy Easter everyone!

 

That brush is gorgeous!

 

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap
SlimGem 3D Printed Synthetic
Gem Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap lathered well with the SlimGem 3D Printed Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
