Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
James of Hudson Street Shave Soap
Jayaruh #447 Synthetic
Supply SE Injector
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The James of Hudson Street Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #447 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector and a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Friday morning’s quickie:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 12
Williams Menthol SC
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

Luckily for me I used my wonderful 50s Super Speed which my Dad, of dearly loved and cherished memory gave me for my fourteenth birthday. I have a feeling that if I would have used another razor I would have cut myself all over because I was really in a hurry - right now I’m at my doctor’s office and I’m waiting to have an examination. The Razorock Plissoft is one awesome lather maker - you should have seen how it performed with the Williams Menthol cream. This tube has been in my house for umpteen years, it still smells great, a little goes a long way, the menthol sensation felt heavenly, and it left such a comfortable postshave feeling along with the chilliness. The Prep and the Aqua Velva aftershave were a perfect finish. Three lightening fast passes gave me a super duper BBS shave but tomorrow I’m gonna take my sweet time!

Enjoy the weekend - be well and stay safe!

SE SOTD, Friday, December 8th 2023

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316SSP 50mm AC type with a Yaqi 316 SSP Chippendale handle- Mfg 2023>, mild range. Excellent machined and finished QC. This little razor head works well if a person wants a mild razor ( great daily driver), if a person wants a slightly more aggressive shave with the Yaqi Romulus or Remus razors the Feather Super pro blade works or use a AC blade shim stoned cutting edge will reward you with a nice mid range shave. I have not ordered my Feather super pro blades yet (others have used the super pro confirmed mid range) so I have been experimenting with a AC blade stoned edge shim (3 shaves in) will increase gap by 10/ 1000 of inch and the results are spectacular(not overly aggressive IMO). Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning!
Blade : Kai SS Captain Titan mild (1)- Sharp & smoooth with reasonable longevity. I have used the Kai Protouch blade and enjoyed those blades with my Shavette( Kai uses the Capitan titan mild blade in their Protouch blade also). Kai SS Captain titan mild are very nice blades & work well with my Romulus razor IMO.
Soap : TOBS herbal sandalwood- nice scented herbal sandalwood that has a masculine fragrance with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Moka Express" 24mm synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator,
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 : Proraso red Sandalwood with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus with a Kai SS captain mild blade. (It does not get much better a shave for myself!)

Have some great shaves!
