Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend.

I won't deny the fact that I have a great fondness for Indian made shaving products. The Gillette Wilkinson sword (saloon pack) blades are another no frills honest to blades from the subcontinents they do the job they were designed to do and do it reasonably well i find these blades aren't the sharpest but are very smooth durable and have been consistent and i haven't had any intermittent quality problems with them to date.

As i have a vast amount of various subcontinent blades i will carry only using them for two shaves max then change to another brand to continue with my revisited subcontinent blade focus. The GWS paired up wonderfully with the Merkur 37C making a mild smooth efficient duo.

The Schick G Type Injector performed wonderfully mowing through my head/dome stubble with ease.

The Haslinger Aloe Vera soap provided is such a great performing nice mild fragranced shaving soap which my mature skin loves and creates a good lather in a short space of time leaving a superb post shave feel.

A close comfortable face & head shave with errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

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

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

Supply SE Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Lustray Spice AS

The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #4 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector and the Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

MSC Vintage Spice SS
Aveeno Moisturizer
MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

The more I use this Vintage Spice soap and aftershave the more I love them - as I keep saying they’re such a perfect substitute for the discontinued Shulton Old Spice in terms of scent. The soap’s tallow formula gives it such awesome lather that’s so thick, rich, slick, as well as protective, and the skincare is A1. The Aveeno moisturizer works so well as a balm and it’s unscented so it doesn’t spoil the gorgeous scent of the soap and the Vintage Spice aftershave is witch hazel based so it never burns or stings - not only that, it has the identical wonderful scent as the soap and it’s got terrific staying power. Three passes resulted in a dynamite BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Enjoy your weekend and your shaves - be well and safe!

DE SOTD, Saturday, Feb 3rd 2022

Razor : Yaqi Knights Helmet, Mfg 2019>, aggressive range, I like to use a steep approach(riding the bar) with a short handle gives good results + light touch is required for those stellar results. Experimenting with 2 stacked blades to see how it performs. Found that one side was shaving more aggressive than the other so accuracy of blades positioned is different. 4th time same blade uses in different razors & handling and photo's of these blades indicates time to be binned. Results where still excellent but mostly shaved on the tamed side for comfort & felt good. Check to make blade is clamped tight in handle before starting to shave!
I believe this is Yaqi's most aggressive safety razor they manufacture!
Blade : Gillette Astra SP X2- sharp & smooth with great longevity.
Soap : Mitchells wool fat- nice mild clean scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Robin" 24mm boar bristle, excellent lather generator, soft split end tips, great splay scrubber + great 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 : Razorock Blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless)
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my Yaqi Knights helmet with 2 X Astra SP blades.

Have some great shaves!

The Rigarazor gave about as smooth a shave as you can ask for and it was marred only by a momentary burying of the blade in my chin on the first pass. It made for a lot of blood (being on blood thinners makes straights interesting…) But what’s a little blood now and then, right?

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

It's been a while since I've last added the Supermax classic shave cream to my shave set ups, and forgot how good this inexpensive shave cream performs, it's slick protective and doesn't dry out on my face and leaves my face feeling hydrated and smooth. I intend to use this cream more often.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick-ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Wilko Men's ASB.

My face is feeling cool, smooth & smelling divine.

Stay Safe and enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.

My gorgeous Yaqi Barber Pole whipped up such awesome lather from the VGH soap and do I ever LOVE the scent of that stuff - it’s so classy, old school, with an exotic note. The VGH balm and aftershave have the same delightful scent - the balm is so moisturizing and soothing as well as slightly cooling on my skin, and the aftershave feels great after a two second sting. Three passes knocked off all that rough stubble and left me smoother than silk - what a magnificent shave this was!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!
