• Blade : Feather Hi-Stainless.(1)

Hi all,
I had a lovely shave this afternoon with the Yaqi Ghost TI 90 DC.
This is the first Titanium razor have ever owned I picked it up second hand recently.
The first thing that drew me to it was the duel comb design of the head which is unlike
any other razor I have or have owned.
Today I used the safety bar side only and I have to say the shave was very smooth and efficient.
I will use the open comb side for my next shave just to compare.
In my opinion easily as smooth as the TGS Syntesi in my last SOTD maybe even a bit smoother hard to tell.
The thing that stuck me was on the first stroke of the WTG pass it was a no brainer no angle
adjustment at all witch can be common when using an unknown razor for the first time.
Being so light weight (58 grams) I wondered if inexperienced wet shavers could mistakenly apply
pressure if they had only used stainless or solid brass razors witch may result in nicking or cutting themselves.
The in hand feel weight wise felt similar to vintage Gillette's. (very pleasing)

The soap was good to but I realized I should of brush loaded it not bowl lathered.
Lovely relaxing fragrance during the shave.

Cheers.

Safety Bar.

 

Thank you Gary.

Lovely mild scent from the Scapicchio

Have a great Monday one and all

 

Excellent shave and post.

Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Lamplight Penance Toner

Fantastic single blade shave this morning with the GEM Feather razor. The synthetic brush whipped up a nice leather with enough for my customary three pass shave. I have about one more shave with this blade before it will be binned.

I am looking forward to the upcoming shaves this week as I will focus through Saturday with my straight razors, as well as several days with the King of Oud soap.

I had a very successful morning with the X3Bar workout, chest, as well as an hour session in the sauna blanket. Holy sweaty scenario. Now it is time to get on with the rest of the day.

Enjoy your day gentlemen.

 

Thank you Gary...more shaking is necessary for the Gillette Foamy, but I don't mind....the result is great.

 

This morning's(Monday)_shave was great. I'm not sure I'll reorder the PAGES, but it's good enough to finish off. Nice work at the Loading Dock for the soap. No problems anywhere for the shave action. The soap actually smells different than the afrtershave(I guess it was a little tricky to make an aftershave in the PAGES persuasion), thus I wouldn't call it a 100% match(the soap and A.S.). The Proraso Professional Omega Brush was a fine choice. Very pleased, alll in all. As Outstanding SAs It Gets.

 

Thank you Joe

 

Sweet shave Chris.

 

Nice shave and congratulations on the new acquisition.
