11.17.21 Soap: Nivea - Shave cream Razor: 3D Printed - Taipan SE Blade: GEM SS Coated - 7th use Another fantastic shave from this GEM blade and one-piece plastic razor.
Very interesting design on that razor. The handle is definitely reminiscent of the tail of a snakeit is named after. I hope the razor doesn't have a tendency to bite like one though.

Thur 19th November Stirling Syn 26mm MWF Claymore Evolution Kai Pink ( 1 ) Floid Vigoroso A/S Managed to fit this blade onto the Claymore, a very tight squeeze.Very pleased with all aspects of The Shave, think this is likely to be a top choice of blade, will need a few more outings.
That 1305 looks brand new, is it? Mine has many years of battle scars and a good section of the green paint is gone, label is starting to deteriorate too.
The 1305 was one of my first brushes that I bought back in 2013. It is a great boar. It has only a couple of hundred shaves on it. Since I started making brushes, I use my Jayaruh brushes 90% of the time or more. I am glad I broke it out for this week.

SE SOTD Nov 19th 2021 Razor: Yaqi V2 Excalibur AC 50mm-Mfg 2021> great design for a tame mid range, small parts to handle, easy to roam the face. Very enjoyable razor for myself to use. You do have to adjust the top cap for alignment to the safety bar because they designed it this way because of issues with V1(No big deal for myself). Lay wash cloth to assemble & disassemble small parts. Blade: Schick proline P30 (2) sharp & smooth blade with reasonable longevity. Soap: Italian barber Amici, nice mild scent(grapefruit & other mild scents) + excellent lather qualities.(misted) Brush: Yaqi 22mm, 2band badger- excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, designed to be a excellent scrubber, good lather painter. This little brush will surprize people who like scrubbing with short loft and knot density. Pre shave: 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: Italian barber AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion(balm) + scentless Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Yaqi V2 Excalibur 50mm with a Schick P30. Have some great shaves!
Today's shave is courtesy of @MoAllen who graciously held a PIF for a OneBlade Core razor. I was very curious but honestly didn't have high hopes for this razor however I was pleasantly surprised. The build quality is much better than expected as is the weight and feel of the handle. I had a three-pass shave with some Col. Ichabod Conk lime soap whipped up with my trusty PAA Atomic Rocket which resulted in an all-around BBS. The only things that were noticeably different than a traditional SE razor were 1) needing to apply quite a bit of pressure and 2) needing to buff or go over the same areas many times. The extra blade work didn't matter because there was zero irritation as tested with an Omega alum stick. I finished it all up with a splash of Clubman Citrus Musk and am feeling smooth and fresh.
