Greetings,

Parker Razor focus month.

Another new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...

I can't recall the last time that i added the Personna Comfort Coated to my blade rotation. I had all intentions of returning to the Dorco Prime platinum but changed my mind at the last minute and used the Personna instead which I find equally as smooth & efficient as the Dorco Prime platinum and have paired together with each razor that I have used them with.

Carrying on with the Parker 87R which is a nicely balanced razor and always provides a comfortable close shave.

Third outing of the Goodfellas' Smile Abysso Shaving Soap & ASL duo which provided me with another exceptional shave the lathering performance of the shaving soap is superb providing a great slick protective wonderfully scented lather in a short space of time. The matching ASL finished the shave off excellently.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

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

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

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Rapira day 13
Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Holy icicles Batman - my face is so frozen from this Glacial Electric Sheep. It’s one of the more recent Glacial soaps and it’s the only one with a mutton tallow formula. The scent is so delightful, the lather is so easy to work up - it’s so rich, creamy, mega slick and protective, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave were a great finishing combo. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was so much fun!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

Awesome shave Gary!

I love Acqua di Selva - it’s not too easy to find, though.

The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #434 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the SXDGS 5/8 Straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

DE SOTD, Saturday, July 8th 2023

Razor : Yaqi Sentinel 316 SS,1.50 mm gap + a Chippendale (Darwin looking)Yaqi PSS handle - Mfg 2022>, mild range, excellent machining and finish QC is adequate for my shaving needs, I like to use the Kai SS extra wide blade in this razor for a little more blade feel. Had a close shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Kai SS extra wide (2)- sharp & smooth with excellent longevity.
Soap : Razorock XXX Fresco with some menthol, nice XXX clean scent with excellent lather qualities. Menthol is not over the top but just right for myself (no watery eyes).
Brush : Yaqi "Sagrada Familia" 22mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, very nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. This little brush is a joy to use and does not get much better in 2band for myself.
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 XXX Fresco AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my Yaqi Sentinel 1.50mm with a Kai SS Extra wide blade.


Have some great shaves!
