    Saturday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
    Tom's Brush B-3 Badger
    Brass TAR by Tom
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Florida Water

    The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with Tom's Brush B-3 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Brass TAR Razor by Tom with a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Saturday morning:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 11
    Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
    Prep ASB
    Reef Point Fougère Santal AS Splash

    As a general rule I’m not big on glycerine soaps but there are some exceptions and Jaco’s soaps are among those exceptions. His Kudu’s Kick is so nicely scented - if you like coffee and peppermint then you’ll love this soap, the lather is such a pleasure to work up, it becomes very thick, rich, slick and protective, there’s a wonderful menthol sensation, and the skincare is excellent. I enjoyed my massage with the Prep so much, and the Fougère Santal aftershave from Reef Point was a gift from my darling wife a while back - it smells so beautiful and is it ever mentholated. Three passes left me ultra BBS - this was such a delightful shave!

    Enjoy the weekend - be well and safe!

    The venerable 1938 Senator once again took off an entire 2 months of beard without any issues, using only a Blue Bird blade and an old bar of Aramis bath soap.

    Have to admit, there's a weird sense of solidity in the beard-destroying shave of a bar handled NEW that the Senator lacks. A minor thing, maybe my imagination, but it's noticeable.

    SE SOTD, Sat, June 2nd 2022

    Razor : Yaqi Katana- Mfg 2019> mid range, takes 1/2 DE blade and works well, loading a blade I keep it lose and bump the blade to the stops gently with a carboard blade tuck box and then lightly torque and check for final tightening. Blade installation is a challenge some times but once you do it a few times it becomes easier IMO. 1/2 DE blade is more a Gimmick possibly but great for the budget minded compared when buying SE blades IMO!
    Blade : Gillette Astra SP (2) sharp & smooth with excellent longevity.
    Soap : Razorock Lavender- nice lavender scent with excellent lather qualities. (discontinued.)
    Brush : Yaqi Chianti's 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentile scrub+ 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 aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave with my Yaqi Katana SE with a Astra SP blade.

    Hi Friends,

    My Sunday Shave (03.07.2022)

    46239AB6-4808-4B42-9A46-A7D293C83BE6.jpeg
    Razor: Feather AS D2 // Blade: Gillette Wilkinson India // Soap: House of Mammoth Mood Indigo // Brush: RazoRock Barber 24 // Aftershave: House of Mammoth Mood Indigo Balm

    Oh man,, what a shave. I am so so glad that i bought the Feather. It is such a fantastic razor. So gentle, smooth an thoroughly. It is definitely the smoothest razor in my collection.

    3 joyful passes with this wonderful smelling soap. The brush had no problems whipping up luxurious lather. After ending this shave i took the After Shave Balm which smells wonderful too. The scent is identical to the soap. No difference. IT has great skincare, goes on very well and has a very nice texture.

    It was a mighty fine shave.

    Have a blessed Sunday, enjoy your shaves, take your time and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten
