A great inexpensive shave set up to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

The Arko Sensitive Shaving Cream is wonderful, with a light lavender fragrance which lasts throughout the shave & leaves a excellent post shave feeling to the face.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger
Cobra Classic
Feather Professional
CWR
Aqua Velva Iced Blue After Shave

The Musgo Real Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Cobra Classic Razor and a Feather Professional Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Iced Blue After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Rapira day 4
Gilly’s Lush Life SS
Henri et Victoria Bergamot Vetiver AS Splash
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

What a nice soap this Lush Life from Gilly’s in Durban, South Africa is. It’s got a lovely scent which is hard for me to describe - there seems to be some clove and bergamot in it, it’s vegan based, it lathers terrifically, it’s quite slick, there’s a mild but pleasant menthol sensation, and the skincare is pretty good. The Prep took excellent care of me afterwards, and the Bergamot Vetiver aftershave from Henri et Victoria stung a little but then it felt icy cold - the scent is so gorgeous but it doesn’t interfere with the Eau Sauvage which is another fragrance that I really love. Three passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Have a great day - be well and stay safe!

Isn’t that Vintage Spice soap a delight? To me it’s a carbon copy of the Shulton Old Spice soap in the scent!

DE SOTD, July 13th 2023

Razor : Yaqi 2nd Generation or V2, 316 SSP Mellon dual open comb head with a Milano 316 SSPolished handle- MFG 2023>, tame to mid range, excellent machining and finish QC. I enjoy the audio feedback from this razor(sizzling sound) and also a well thought out razor for ideal performance IMO. Had a close comfortable shave this morning with no issues, I used a shallow approach (riding the cap) for a change and it performed wonderfully IMO!
Blade : Gillette silver Blue (2) sharp & smoooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier for myself.
Soap : Yaqi Green, nice fresh addicting scent(Lacoste Green cologne) with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Viper" boar bristle, excellent lathe generator, soft split end bristle hairs, great feel splay scrubber + great lather painter. Eye candy to myself to look at and use.
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 :Alum test + Yaqi Green with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent close shave with my Yaqi V2 316 SSP Mellon head with a 316 SSP Milano handle + GSB blade.

Have some great shaves!
