Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger
Frankenskeene Razor
Ever-Ready Radio Steel
CWR
Vintage English Leather AS

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Frankenskeene Razor and the Ever-Ready Radio Steel blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Vintage English Leather After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 2
Captain Nemo Blend 47 SS
Captain Nemo Blend 47 AS Toner
Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

It’s been a while since I last used this Blend 47 soap and aftershave toner so I decided to pull them out for this morning and I’m happy I did. The scent is actually quite nice - it’s similar in some ways to Proraso Green but even nicer, the soap is vegan based, it gives GREAT lather with a good middle of the road menthol sensation, and a really comfortable postshave feeling. The matching toner (it’s really a balm) has the same nice eucalyptus type scent, it’s so soothing as well as moisturizing, and is it ever mentholated. Finally a couple of generous splashes of the icy cold Aqua Velva Sport and I was good to go. Three swift, glorious passes did me proud with an awesome BBS shave that was tons of fun!

Enjoy your day and your weekend - see you tomorrow!

SE SOTD, May 17th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP SE 50mm with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023> tame mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC with a nimble feel to it when shaving. I like to match this razor with a Kai Captain titian mild seems to work the best for myself. Small head parts make it very nimble to work the beard and just a joy to use. Had a close comfortable shave this morning .
Blade : Kai Captain Titian mild 50mm AC type(10) sharp and smoooth with excellent longevity. This blade just set a mile stone for first AC type 50mm blade to get 10 excellent shaves over 10 weeks with reasonable life left in it. I'm not sure if this is a constant but the blade is just performing well for my beard and happy to have purchased them from RR sale.
Soap : Razorock Emperor, unique linear scent that has excellent lather qualities.(I enjoy the Emperor scent slightly more!)
Brush : Yaqi "Artic sky" 3band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Nice handle to feel with a decent knot that puts a smile on my face!
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 Emperor splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus SE 50mm with a Kai mild.(Great shave blade with 10 uses and producing excellent shaves with excellent).

Have some great shaves!
