SOS: May 2024

Aaahhh, that means I'm in trouble if I use the brush with other Clubman products! I don't think I've had a shave where I matched the brush with other Clubmen. Hard to recall. If I do, I'll remember this post .

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Semogue 1305 boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Techmatic Razor and the Techmatic Band blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor : Yaqi 2n Gen Mellon head 316 SSP with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC for my shaving needs. This little razor head has not let me down for performance and is one of the better razors I have ever owned. Why Mr Mellon never pushed this head up to this this aggression is beyond me back in the 1940's, he would of been a huge success story, he just wanted mild razors for what ever reason and did not offer more variant ranges of aggression.
Had a excellent close comfortable stellar shave once again.
Blade : Personna red(3) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity.
Soap : Speick stick, very enjoyable mild spicy scented hard soap with some of the best lather qualities i have used over the last 7 years. Excellence at its best and affordable also to most folks IMO.
Brush : Yaqi "Red stripped Zebra" 26mm snow leopard knot. Excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Does not get much better for my shaving needs, 26mm synthetics rock!
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 cologne aftershave splash + 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 2nd Generation Mellon head with a Personna red blade. (Does not much better for myself.)

Have some great shaves!

I had to go back to the Bill Neumann site to make sure I had their frozen one right-yes indeed, it too is Absolute Zero. But I have a feeling the Captain's version is colder.
