    Razor : Razorock Wunderbar slant 316SS + a modified Micromatic handle- Mfg 2017- 2023 upper mid range, machining and finish QC are excellent, light touch with a short handle using a Steep angle(riding the bar) gives excellent shaves with no drama usually. This morning was excellent shave and mostly carefree.
    Blade : GSB (2) sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity.
    Soap : Razorock XXX Fresco, very nice scent & similar to regular XXX clean scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "black marble" 24mm 3band silvertip, excellent lather generator, Luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay 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.

    Thanks Ron. The Slope is an impressive head and the soap is good stuff. I bead blasted the center section of the handle for better grip....I like the two tone effect.

    Take care.

    Thursday morning:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Rapira day 4
    Brick SS
    Aveeno Moisturizer
    Max Disinfecting AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    This Brick soap is an in house brand from a barbershop in the Netherlands and I think it’s fabulous. It has a very pleasant scent, the lather is so damned thick, rich, as well as slick, there’s lots of cushion to it, and it’s very gentle on the skin. The Aveeno moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the Max Disinfecting aftershave from Bulgaria smells nice, it stings like a bugger for a second or two but then it feels wonderful, and its scent doesn’t disrupt the gorgeous fragrance of the Bleu de Chanel. Three passes provided a magnificent BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Thursday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Musgo Real Shave Soap
    Heldtite Synthetic
    Eversharp Schick G
    Personna Injector Blade
    CWR
    PSC Caffeinated AS

    The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with the Heldtite Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Eversharp Schick G and a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
