SOS: February 2024

Saturday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Wilkinson blade day 7
Razorock One X SS
Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
Razorock One X AS Splash

My lovely wife bought me this One X soap and aftershave around seven years ago and for some silly reason I neglected them for a long time but today I decided to pull them out and go with them. My Lord, the scent is MAGNIFICENT, the soap is soft in texture like Proraso, the lather is so damned easy to work up, I seem to feel a bit of menthol from it, and the skincare is fairly good. The Aloe Vesta moisturizer is so soothing, and the One X aftershave put the icing on the cake - do I ever smell beautiful. Two passes were sufficient for a terrific BBS shave that was so pleasurable!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - see y’all tomorrow!

DE SOTD, Saturday, February 17th 2024.

Razor :Yaqi top aggressive slant, torsional type(AKA=YTAS). Mfg 2019>, upper mid to aggressive range. Interesting design of a slant razor. Lots of blade feel and a joy to use once mastered. I tend to use a steep approach (riding the bar) with a short handle for less leverage and more response for corrective angles more quicker(chin area) . I do not plunk this razor at the start of a stroke because it's going to bite almost guaranteed, the results are stellar and whiskers do not stand a chance. It is not a Newbie razor and should only be used by experienced folks with a mature hand technique IMO. I do enjoy using this slant with blade shim underneath the primary blade to reduce any chatter + audio feedback is great to listen to while shaving. Had a stellar comfortable close shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Gillette Permasharp(1) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier, This soap has interesting scent(Aramis original cologne) and is kind of addicting for scent lovers + excellent lather qualities. Yaqi commissioned Master soap creations S.A to bring forward their line of soaps and fragrances.
Brush : Yaqi "Moka Express" 26 mm synthetic. Excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent lather painter. This is a rare brush Yaqi sold a small # basis testing various handle combinations to knots and sold as a defect (lucky me). Large handle with excellent knot IMO.
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 : Yaqi Musketeer rapier + 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 slant with a fresh Permasharp blade. It does not get much better a shave for closeness for myself.


Have some great shaves!
