    An especially pleasing shave. :happy093:

    The Riga had a bit of a bite to it so I took out the loupe to look at it. What? A chip and some pitting showed up in the middle of the edge. I have only taken a razor to the hones for anything other than touch ups once before. But, with a combination of film and my stones, I was able to take out the chip and pitting. With a Thuringian finish it’s back to it’s original super smooth and effortless shave quality. :happy036:

    Blade : Gem Personna SS PPTFE(3) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Razorock Santa Maria Del Fiore, nice Vanilla and green tobacco scent with excellent lather qualities
    Brush : Yaqi "Mysterious space" 24mm timber wolf knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent 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 Santa Maria del Fiore+ a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).

    Greetings,

    Early morning Shave,

    A relaxing early morning cold water face & head shave...

    I've went for a menthol themed shave today the Proraso gave cooling kick for both my face & head sensors.

    The Gillette Guard on it's 5th and final outing still performed well feeling smooth & efficient enough resulting in another smooth acceptable head shave.

    A enjoyable early comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

    My face & head are feeling cool & smooth. ;)

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

    The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M-2 Adjustable Razor on 7 and a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Tuesday morning:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Rapira day 9
    Godrej Menthol SC
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

    Kind of in a hurry this morning so barely enough time for a shower and a quick two pass shave. It still turned out BBS so I can’t complain at all. The Godrej Menthol cream lathers beautifully, it smells pleasant enough, its menthol sensation is pretty damned strong, and the postshave feeling is very comfortable. The Prep and the Aqua Velva were a perfect finish to this nice shave - now I have to go pick up my brother-in-law and sister-in-law so I could take them to the airport.

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