  1. Friday shave
    Brush: Il Marchese Ilitario
    Razor: TRC TTO
    Blade: Super-Max Platinum Plus
    Soap and aftershave: Stirling West Indies Lime

    The new tto razor from TRC is mild enough for every day shaving yet effective enough to shave off several days of stubble. IMG_4427.jpeg

  5. Friday morning:

    King C. Gillette Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/7 AM day 2
    Hamol SC (from Syria and nice)
    Prep ASB
    Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

    This morning I transplanted the 7 AM blade into my 50s Super Speed to compare the performance between these two razors and there’s no doubt about it - the Super Speed is the BEST DE for me. The Hamol cream from Syria smells so nice - a LOT like Williams soap, the lather is unbelievably thick, rich, slick, and protective, it has a bit of a menthol sensation, and the postshave feeling is soothing as well as very comfortable. This cream is popular in Syrian barbershops and it’s apparently very cheap. Needless to say the Prep soothed and moisturized my skin beautifully while the Floid Vigoroso aftershave went on icy cold along with its delightful old school barbershop scent that I love so much. I experimented with a different kind of two passes - WTG on the first pass and XTG combined with ATG on the second one and it worked great - a fantastic BBS shave that was so enjoyable!

    Hope you all have a nice weekend - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Friday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    ARKO Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #454 2-band badger
    Schick 66 G-4
    Personna Injector Blade
    CWR
    Lustray Spice After Shave

    The ARKO Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #454 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick 66 G-4 Injector razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor : Yaqi SE Romulus 316 SSP AC 50mm + a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2013> mild to tame mid range depending on AC width blades or shim gap used. Small head parts make for a enjoyable nimble shave + a enjoyable shaving experience IMO. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
    Blade : Kai Captain Titian mild (8), sharp and smooth + excellent longevity. Very good top tier blade to use with this razor IMO.
    Soap : Tabac, Mild flowery clean scent + some of the best lather qualities I have used.
    Brush : Yaqi " Casino clubs" 26mm timber wolf synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very nice knot to work the face + it mixes soap as good as any brush I own and is not a lather hog!
    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 American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : Dial 9.5.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus SE razor with a Captain titian mild blade.
