    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    Tom's Brush B-3 Badger
    Tourqued Slant Razor by Tom
    Nacet Stainless
    CWR
    Tabac AS

    The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with Tom's Brush B-3 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Tourqued Slant Razor by Tom with a Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Tuesday morning:

    Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Wilkinson Sword/Shark day 14
    MSC Vintage Spice SS
    CutiBase Moisturizer
    MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

    The more I use Fernando’s Vintage Spice soap and aftershave the more I love them - if you’re a Shulton Old Spice lover like I am then this stuff is your ticket. The scent is so beautiful exactly like the Old Spice, the soap’s tallow formula gives such AWESOME lather with lots of slickness, and it’s so skin friendly. The CutiBase moisturizer is completely unscented and it works so well as a balm. Finally the Vintage Spice aftershave is witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging, the scent is not only as gorgeous as the soap it lasts all day. Three passes left me ultra BBS - one hell of a great shave!

    Enjoy your day - be well and safe!

    DE SOTD Tuesday, June 21 2022, Steep angle shaving works well on razors with a lot of blade feel and even works better with a short handle. Short handle (2 3/4 -3 inches long has less weight, less leverage and is easier to work the chin and the lower neck near the collar bone. I use some very aggressive razors recently and found as long as you do not plunk the razor on face at start of a pass the results are awesome. You basically can regulate the amount of aggression on the fly much like a adjustable razor IMO.

    Razor : Yaqi Telstar , Upper mid range, bought this on sale and it does have blade feel, I have concluded a steep angle(riding the bar) works well on this razor, well made Zamak head, even blade feel when flipped 180 degrees. Great budget razor head IMO.
    Blade : Gillette Astra SP(3) sharp & smooth, excellent longevity.
    Soap : Yaqi lemon lime + cedar wood Mentholated- WoW does this stuff freeze the face feel, nice soap for hot days, it is about 2-3 times more mentholated than Proraso green I'm guessing, nice change up for my soaps. Made for Yaqi by Master soap creations S.A.
    Brush : Yaqi cavern lake 22mm Tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber, excellent 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 : Yaqi Green aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Yaqi Telstar with a Gillette Astra SP blade.

    Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Wilkinson Sword
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    Back to my cherished 1950s Super Speed which I loaded with a brand new Wilkinson Sword blade. It’s been a little while since I used Rod’s Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave so I wanted to go with them this morning and I’m so happy that I did. The scent is beautiful - to me the strawberry seems to dominate but I still detect a good amount of lemon, the soap’s tallow formula gives such great lather which is super slick like all of Rod’s soaps - not only that, these new Glacials are less thirsty than the original ones, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep gave me lots of additional cooling, moisturizing, soothing postshave love, and I don’t need to wear any fragrance because the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave’s delightful scent lasts all day and it’s a menthol atom bomb. Three passes left me ultra BBS - another cracking good shave!

    Enjoy your day - be well and safe!

    Almost forgot the picture of my gorgeous Yaqi brush![​IMG]
