    Razor: Yaqi Katana, Mfg 2020>upper mid range, nice blade feel, snapping a blade in half and placing it in half in this razor is not the easiest, should half a small magnet or alignment pins to help secure blade while tightening handle IMO. Work over a wash cloth seems to help, I finally figured a way for me to install half blades in this razor a little more easily. Head up laying on wash cloth and semi loose and tap head and tighten & then do a visual to confirm. Very inexpensive when I bought head on sale and wanted to try it out.
    Handle seems reasonable but not the best grip, does feel good in hand because it is short.
    Blade: Personna red(2) excellent blade, sharp & smooth with great longevity.
    Soap: Tabac, nice mild flowery scent with great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Viper 24mm boar, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice scrubber + great painter.
    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: Fine fresh Vetiver with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(Balm) + scentless.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= [​IMG]Excellent shave with my Yaqi Katana SE with a 1/2 Personna red blade.

    Antica Barbieria Colla~~dubl duck #4~~RazoRock GC/Light Brigade (7)~~Mukhalat Malaki Attar

    Continuing my conquering of the "Traditional Shaving Paste".
    I am going to finish this tub, even if it kills me.
    Here's the skinny:
    It's Cella with a price tag.
    You're much better served with a tub of 3P
    Screen Shot 2022-01-07 at 1.02.45 PM.png
    and Cella AND Boellis Panama, than paying over $70 for a 150g tub of this soap.

    Do not misunderstand, this is a good soap. Just not $70.00 good.
    [​IMG]
    I could have hydrated it better---user error.
    Nonetheless, the Game Changer, loaded with the 6x used Wilkinson Chromium, a.k.a. Light Brigade,
    continues to impress. Smooth and effortless---even on my notoriously, sensitive lower neck.
    Cleaned off the residual soap with a splash of Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel,
    followed by their matching Aftershave Balm.

    This is a very good product. Shake well and a "little dab'll do ya".
    My scent du jour is an Arabian Attar (concentrated oil)

    I don't get the tobacco in the scent notes, but a healthy dose of Saffron.
    Oud...not so sure, probably none to be had.
    Turkish Rose is prominent, so if you aren't a rose-fan, try before you buy.

    Saturday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Arko Shave Stick
    SlimGem Synthetic
    Taipan 3D SE Razor
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Mennen Skin Bracer AS

    The Arko Shave Stick lathered well with the SlimGem Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Taipan 3D SE Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Saturday morning:

    Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Gillette Platinum day 4
    MSC Ruby Forest SS
    L’Oreal Hydra Hydra Energetic ASB
    Aqua Velva Musk AS Splash

    Fernando is an absolute Grand Master when it comes to making soaps and aftershaves - his Ruby Forest soap blows me away every time I use it. The scent is gorgeous - it’s a carbon copy of Dunhill Red Desire, the lather is so thick, rich, protective as well as slick thanks to the tallow formula, and the skincare is perfect. The L’Oreal Hydra Energetic balm moisturizes and soothes my skin so well while the Aqua Velva Musk aftershave smells really nice. Three passes left me as smooth as silk!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe!

    Hi Friends,

    i hope all of you are doing well.

    Here is my belated Wednesday Shave.

    60EF7D39-9008-4592-B39A-F24C835ED2DE.jpeg
    Razor: Gillette New Improved // Blade: Personna Med Prep. // Soap: Scheermonnik Berk // Brush: PAA Green Ray // Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

    I was recommended the Razor / Blade combo from a fellow German FB-member, who told me that he had some outstanding shaves with this combination.

    Guess what?

    It WAS outstanding. The razor has been very gentle and smooth, at the same time very thoroughly so it has been a pure joy to shave with.

    The soap with its great slickness and cushiony lather did it’s part to this great shave.

    If you are searching for a fantastic synthetic brush with a wonderful knot…here you are. This could be THE best synthetic brush I have in my den. Wow…

    Lat but not least the Aftershave…maaaan I love this scent so much. Warm, comfy, elegant. It is so so good…

    All in all I can say, that the razor / blade combo will get more appearance in the future.

    Enjoy your shaves, take your time and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten
