    It’s definitely warming up as the days pass. Not much to report today, other than another superb mug and noggin shave featuring the Smith Bros. 11/16 straight and the Leresche 51 Lux safety razors respectively. Work continues on the TR6. It’s quite slow and aggravating having to wait for my son and grandson to return from work each day so we can recommence work. Oh well, at least I’m porcelain smooth from noggin to neck!

    RAZOR: Smith Bros. of Boston 11/16 (Mug), Leresche 51 Lux (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather DE
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: BG Custom 22mm Two Band Badger
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Krampert’s Frostbite.

    Razor : Yaqi Telestar (Zamak head model) - Mfg 2022> mid range, has blade feel, I did my 1st shave with the Telestar and it did a great job on 1 days growth. Chrome finish is excellent with accurate machining when I flip razor 180 degrees with similar feel of blade. Good razor for folks who like some blade feel. Very affordable for a mid range razor IMO.
    Blade : Gillette 7oClock SP- Sharp & Smooth with reasonable longevity.
    Soap : Razorock Lavender, nice lavender oil scent with excellent lather qualities.(discontinued)
    Brush : Yaqi Cola 22mm synthetic- excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + excellent lather painter.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Ach Brito Lavanda with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG]Excellent shave with my Yaqi Telestar razor with a Gillette 7oCock SP.

    I hope you've been doing better with your MWF than I have.

    Daniel, if you can find the year Osage was introduced, that'd be a big help-I'm quite sure it's been around for quite a while.

    Unfortunately MWF hates me - you wouldn’t believe how it irritates and burns my face and neck.

    Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 4
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    This Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave came out last spring and Rod created two treasures. The scent is so beautiful - to me the strawberry is the dominant note but you can still pick up the lemony part as well. The soap is tallow based like all the other Stirling ones, the lather is fabulous, it’s so rich, super slick as well as protective, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is A1. The Prep needs no explanation because it’s so wonderful, and the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave laid a mega freeze on me along with its delicious, refreshing scent. What a shave this was - three passes left me smoother than silk!

    Have a good day - be well and safe!
