    I changed things up this morning and used my shavette that Jeff gifted to me with a ProGuard blade. I got a bit more feedback from the alum bar but, no cuts, nicks, or weepers so, I am doing well with the shavette. I plan on using the Feather DX all weekend

    Proraso White pre-shave cream
    Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Simpson Trafalgar T3 brush
    Thayers Aloe & Witch Hazel Pinaud Clubman "Vanilla" AS

    Bloomed soap & warmed the lather bowl with HOT water. Washed face with Ivory bar soap and warmed face with HOT washcloth. Today I used only the MWF and still got rich lather. I really like the Wool Fat! 3-pass shave WTG, ATG, XTG with minor cleanup. I had to work a bit harder on my right jawline (my tough spot) to get close and the alum bar let me know I made a couple too many passes. But, no cuts so, I call this excellent! Really light touch even got my upper lip BBS close! Either my lip has toughened up or I am better with the pressure! I usta cut my lip all the time! I shave the upper lip WTG, and XTG and it is nice and smooth!

    My face is super smooth and smellin' nice!

    I hope all have a great Friday! TGIF!

    Paul, you can’t believe how great this soap and aftershave are. The scent is a carbon copy of the Shulton Old Spice!

    Friday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    B-pure Shave Soap
    Bunny B-400 by Tom
    Gillette Tech Slant
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Musk AS

    The B-pure Shave Soap lathered well with Bunny B-400 Badger Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Tech Slant Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Friday morning:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 3
    MSC Grapefruit Cinnamon SS
    CutiBase Moisturizer
    Pinaud Bay Rum AS Splash

    Here’s another lovely soap from Fernando that I’ve neglected and I regret it because it’s so good. This Grapefruit Cinnamon has such a nice scent - to be honest I don’t smell the cinnamon at all, it’s tallow based like all Fernando’s soaps so the lather is heavenly, and it’s very good in the skincare department. The CutiBase moisturizer is such a good balm albeit expensive, and I absolutely love the Pinaud Bay Rum aftershave. What a delightful three pass BBS shave this was

    Enjoy your weekend - be well and safe!

    Someone told me about the MWF that although it has the year 1893 on the label, the soap itself was produced in 1937. Still good enough for a Throwback Thursday, but a little confusing to remember.

    Razor : Yaqi Excalibur AC 50mm, Mfg 2021, tame mid range, interesting design for clamping, changed to a new chrome head I bought recently(cheap sale) and tolerances are tighter IMO. I usually get great shaves from this razor.
    Blade : Schick proline 50mm p30- sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity, 6 shaves max for me.
    Soap : Cyril R Salter Sandalwood cream- nice mid range scent, excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi mysterious space 24mm synthetic,
    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 : Witch hazel cleanse + Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG]Great shave with my Yaqi Excalibur AC with Schick proline P30 blade.

    [​IMG]Have some great shaves!

    Newly acquired, restored, and honed. I had a very rushed, 1 pass shave, that gave a DFS result. It would have been better, but I was late for work, and already had a few days growth on the face. This was a very very smooth shaving razor, considering the rush. Zero issues. I'm going to give it another go, very soon.

    Razor- "TULA" by K.B.Seelbach Co. Germany
    Brush- by @oscar11 . Synthetic knot
    Soap- ARKO
    Aftershave- Vintage AVON Spicy. Willys Jeep decanter.

    (Face & Head Shave)

    Greetings,

    A new shave set up to start the weekend....Continuing my month tribute to my fellow shaving friend @Jgreenepa who kindly the Gem Featherweight to me in early January this year.

    The Featherweight is easy to find the shaving angle manoeuvrable, and well balanced considering it's a lot lighter than my Gem Micromatic OC, and other SE razors, but the weight doesn't hinder or alter the shaving performance in any shape or form....It's all down to good technique & shaving confidence, using a lighter razor keeps me focused, rather than relying on the weight of the razor to maintain the shaving angle.

    Another enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

    My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 4
    MSC Peppermint Lime SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Peppermint Lime AS Splash

    My first time using this Canadian made Tech and I must say that I’m very pleased with it as well as very impressed. It’s a three piece razor and although it’s very mild it’s very efficient and it performs great. Fernando’s Peppermint Lime soap and aftershave are both treasures - the scent is so beautiful, the soap is tallow based so needless to say the lather is such a pleasure to work up - it’s so slick, there’s a helluva strong menthol sensation from it, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep gave me lots of additional soothing care, and the Peppermint Lime aftershave has no stinging or burning sensation because it’s witch hazel based, it has the same lovely scent as the soap, and it’s frigidly cold. Smoother than silk from three glorious passes - what a great shave!

    Enjoy your weekend - be well and safe!
