SoS: July 2022

GEMonday, July 25th 2022

Razor : Gem Junior 1912 with baton handle- Mfg 1943 variant, nice mid range, I like this handle a lot, well made razor, Gem sold millions of variants of the 1912 over their life span because they where that good a razor IMO. I find the 1912 patented razor design outstanding and excellent for roaming the face effortlessly for stellar results.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (7) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap : Yaqi Green - Very nice fresh scent with excellent lather qualities. Designed for Yaqi by Master soap Creations SA.
Brush : Yaqi Cavern lake 24mm synthetic, 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 : Yaqi Green with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gem Jr 1912 with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!

 

This what Yaqi has printed up if it helps ya The green is inspired by the Lacoste essential green cologne, I have never used the Lascoste cologne, but this splash is very nice and not over whelming where it drives everyone out of a room.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

The Edwin Jagger shave cream provided a wonderful slick lather in a short space of time....The scent to my nose is a nice clean zest scent that doesn't over power your senses, but lingers in between each pass leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

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

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Jayaruh #30
Gillette Double Ring
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #30 badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with Gillette Double Ring Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue 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
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 7
MSC Pole Position SS
CutiBase Moisturizer
Brut AS Splash
Brut EdT

Fernando did it again - his Pole Position is such a brilliant example of what a soap genius he is. The scent is lovely - it’s an EXACT copy of Calvin Klein CK One, it’s tallow based so needless to say the lather is absolutely fabulous, there’s so much slickness to it, and it’s so skin friendly. The CutiBase moisturizer is unscented so it won’t interfere with any fragrance, and it works so well as a balm. Finally, the Brut aftershave and eau de toilette gave me their wonderful old school scent that I love so much. Three glorious passes resulted in a magnificent BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Have a good day - be well and safe!
