SE SOTD, Friday, June 3rd 2022

Razor : Yaqi V2 Excalibur AC 50mm- Mfg 2021> excellent tame mid range, simple clamping design, very affordable if some one is thinking of venturing into AC razor formats, small head parts, I get repeated great shaves with this razor, could be a daily driver for a lot of folks. I like to assemble razor over a wash cloth for easy assembly of small parts. Top cap might have to be manually adjusted before final tightening.
Blade : Schick Proline P30 (2) sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity.(forgot to take down blade use packaging from yesterday)
Soap : Speick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi 24mm timber wolf knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Ach Brito Lavanda with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Yaqi V2 Excalibur 50mm with a Schick proline P30.


Have some great shaves!

Greetings,

(Face & head Shave.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...For intentional purpose i was going to start a month focus on the vast amount of DE blades that i have infrequently used, but i changed my mind at the last minute and decided to have another Injector razor focus week after the wonderful shave's that i have had with them recently.

Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together excellently...Another wonderful from the Supply V2 razor is such a comfortable smooth performing shaving tool.

Another close comfortable acceptable face & head shave with errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few squirts of Blue Stratos EdT to the chest & pulse points.

My face and precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thanks, Gary!

 

Saturday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #426
Supply SE V3
Personna Injector
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #426 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE V3 Razor with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 2022

This is my last post until next Saturday. I’ll be out of pocket without WiFi, just the bride and me for the next seven days. Ordered a new duraluminum frame Flywheel from Italy for the TR6 which arrived yesterday. The last godawful part necessary! The bride understands that we’re leaving after everything is in place! My grandson and a friend will be house sitting.

Took the new-to-me Case Red Imp 6/8 out for its first mug shave! It was advertised as “shave ready”, but I guess that means different things to different people! It shaved hair, but was a bit too tuggy for my liking! So last night it went to the stones! This morning’s shave was a delight! The little razor balanced beautifully in hand and delivered a remarkably smooth three pass shave.

I haven’t had a good noggin shave with one of my favorite Gem razors, the ClogPruf, in some time. So I loaded a fresh Pella PTFE Gem blade and tore through that noggin stubble in two ATG passes. While not in the same category as my Shake Sharps or Speed Shavers, the shave was still respectable, and left yours truly smooth as a peach from noggin to neck!

RAZOR: Case “Red Imp” 6/8 (Mug), Gem ClogPruf (Dome)
BLADE: Pella PTFE SS Gem
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Rearden Razor 316L SS Tuxedo Synth
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys WH. Finished with The Shave Den Custom Glacial Peppermint AS Splash.

 

These Folsom aftershaves are delightful - they last all day.

Saturday morning:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Shark day 11
MSC Frosted Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Do I ever LOVE Fernando’s soaps - this young man is not only a great person, he makes some of the BEST soaps and aftershaves I ever used in my life. His Frosted Bay Rum has such a delightful scent which is how bay rum should smell - it’s spicy, clovey, and sweet, the tallow formula gives it such awesome lather and slickness, there’s a terrific menthol punch from it, and the skincare is so good. Needless to say the Prep delivered incredible soothing and moisturizing, while the Floid Vigoroso aftershave gave me its lovely old school barbershop scent along with lots of menthol goodness. Three passes left me so BBS and feeling great - this was a shave which was fit for a king!

Wishing you all a great weekend - be well and safe!
