SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 2021. RAZOR: Boker French Point 5/8 (Mug), Gillette Big Fellow (Dome) BLADE: Kai DE PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH.

Friday morning: L’Oreal Barber Club Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/Gillette day 3 Valobra Shaving Stick Nivea Sensitive ASB English Leather AS Splash This morning I found a Valobra stick that I bought about fifteen years ago and had completely forgotten that I had it - how could I do that? Anyway, this is a soap from Italy with a nice, clean soapy scent, the lather is terrific - so thick, rich, as well as slick, and the skincare is excellent. The Nivea Sensitive balm to me doesn’t smell so great but it’s so moisturizing and soothing, while the English Leather aftershave has such a beautiful old school scent. What a fantastic shave this was! Have a good weekend - be well and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SOTD, SEptember 17th, 2021 Razor: Yaqi 50mm AC,V1 Excalibur- Mfg 2021> great tame mid range, great results, mostly carefree shaving and enjoyable. Blade: China Blue blade 50mm(3), I received these blades with my Shavette, Sharp & smooth but longevity iffy IMO(testing). Soap: Williams Mug soap- great soap if you apply the lather pastier or thicker and add very little water, to much water you will find it not that good a lather. Once you know what to look for it is a great soap. Nice lemony scent with good slickness protection. Brush: Yaqi 24mm tuxedo knot, with black marble acrylic handle, excellent lather generator, nice scrubber, cloud like soft tips + great lather painter. Pre shave: (Cashmere 24mm syn, 720+ shaves)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on clean beard area. Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. Post shave: Razock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe balm.(Great stuff, scentless) Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 weeper= excellent shave with my Yaqi V1 Excalibur razor with a blue blade. Have some great shaves!
