    Razor: Yaqi V2 Excalibur, Mfg 2021>, well designed, tame mid range, carefree shave this morning. Very small head to install blade so I like to lay a wash cloth to assemble blade. A joy to use with a new type of handle.
    Blade: Schick Proline P30(2) Sharp & smooth, longevity not sure yet. I get great shaves so far.
    Soap: Ach Brito Lavanda cream, nice mild scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Goblin 24mm synthetic, first use, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips + nice scrub + excellent lather painter.
    Pre shave:(Cashmere 24mm) Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Ach Brito Lavanda AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturiser balm(scentless)
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= [​IMG] Excellent shave with my Yaqi V2 Excalibur + a Schick proline P30 blade.

    That may be the last tub of the Strop Shoppe soap that is posted anymore. Can’t recall seeing any others lately…. Such great scents, though.

    Only YOU could colour match THAT soap label to a brush, Jim!:happy096:
    What is that software, btw?

    jluc smelling pretty



    It's Pinnacle Grooming out of the UK. This one is a take on Parfums de Marly Kalan. Very nice scent and performance up there with other top tier artisans.

    Thanks Steve. Really accidental he's always in the shot merely based on where he sits all the time. Got these 2 pieces 30 years ago when I saw them and thought they were humorous. There were other different ones for tissue boxes etc. Fitz & Floyd of Japan.

    I love how you have your razors on display. Is that a customized tray?
