With shave item prices rising, I just hope Zingari and others that attract me stay the same.

 

Nice glasses, Guy.

 

everything is/has gone up already..in one way or another,as base ingredients go up,so shall end product..

 

That's what must have happened to The Soap Exchange(big increase)and also Bill Neumann(not as big, but still a pretty penny). At least it's easier now to grt free shipping from Bill Neumann($60 and over).

Razor : Yaqi 2nd generation Mellon head 316 SSP with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP(Darwin style) handle. Mfg 2023>, mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC with interesting design to self lubricate the lather by picking up water when rinsing razor to regenerate the drying lather on your face(1st Generation Yaqi Zamak mellon head does pick up more water then 2nd gen IMO!. The audio feedback on this razor head has a sizzling sound when snipping beard hairs. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gillette Perma-sharp (3) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity IMO.
Soap : Razorock Emperor croap, unique linear loud scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Moka express" 26mm 2band badger, Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, very nice splay scrubber + great 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 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 Mellon razor with a Perma sharp blade.

Have some great shaves!
