Easy shave with the Yaqi Brass TFC. No bells & whistles of the more well known razors but, this little razor can do the job nicely.

Great shaves to all...

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

(Face & Head Shave.)

A wonderful performance from Parker Variant...The LEA shave stick providing a good acceptable slick lather and a great post shave with no drying out on my skin in between each pass leaving a good post shave feel.
Despite no longer having any tallow, it does have lanolin, and all shaving soaps & creams that contain lanolin my mature skin loves.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #199 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette President and the Gillette Silver Blue 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...

Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 13
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero ASB
Osage Rub AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

Damn, as if yesterday’s shave wasn’t cold enough today’s was even colder - my God, this Absolute Zero soap and balm are the two COLDEST products on Planet Earth. The scent is really nice - it’s aquatic with minty notes, the soap is vegan based, it’s such a pleasure to lather, there’s so much slickness, the menthol sensation is totally insane - yes it’s even slightly stronger than the Stirling Glacials and the Chiseled Face Cryogen not to mention how gentle it is on my skin. The Absolute Zero balm is so moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Rubby Dubby Doo is another face freezer. Finally the Bleu de Chanel which is my number one favourite fragrance and it’s off to the golf course with a couple of the boys. Another awesome three pass BBS shave that was so pleasurable!

Have a super duper day - see you all tomorrow!

DE SOTD, Tuesday, June 25th 2024

Razor : Yaqi 2nd Generation Mellon head SSP with a Yaqi Chippendale 316SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, mid range. This is a well made machined, finished and design that just works well for myself. Great audio feed back is a pleasurable reference with a light touch produces very nice results almost 95%+ of the time. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gillette 7oClock SP(2) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier blade.
Soap : Razorock XXX, very nice clean cologne scent + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Ferrari" 24mm boar brush, Excellent lather generator, soft split end boar bristle hairs, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. This brush was bought as a bad knot for losing & broken hairs but when that stopped after a few uses it became one of the best boar brushes I own. Just a good as most of my synthetics, boar rocked today.
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 XXX with witch hazel + 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 Mellon razor with a Gillette 70Clock SP blade. One of those shaves when the last swipe of razor of my shave indicates you know it was a dandy!

Have some great shaves!
