Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
Jayaruh #434 Synthetic
Gillette 1905 Double Ring
Astra SP
CWR
Pinaud Clubman After Shave

The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #434 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette 1905 Double Ring Razor and an Astra SP blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Friday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 9
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash

Wow, my face is so bloody frozen from this Glacial Lemon Chill setup and it feels great. The soap is a tallow based treasure with such a beautiful scent, it lathers like a champ, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and like all of Rod’s soaps the postshave feeling is so comfortable. The matching balm and aftershave kept up the lovely lemony scent as well as the intense menthol freeze. Three glorious passes gave me such an awesome BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!

SE SOTD, Friday, April 12th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP with a Yaqi Chippendale handle. Mfg 2022>, mild to mid range depending on blade or shim used. Excellent machining and finish QC with small head parts(I like to assemble on a wash cloth). Very nimble to work the beard and when dialed in it is hard to beat this razor for performance IMO. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain titian mild(5) sharp and smoooth with great longevity. One of my favorite AC (50mm blades).
Soap : Razorock M.F, nice scented soap with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Mysterious space" 24mm 3band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, luxury splay feel 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 : Razorock M.F. with witch hazel (nice cologne scent that lasts, not a overly strong but unique) + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP razor with a Kai mild 50mm blade.




Have some great shaves!
