DE SOTD, Thursday, Aug31st 2023 Razor : Razorock 2nd Gen Lupo.72- Mfg 2021>,mid range. Excellent design, machining and finish QC. I enjoy using this razor and is in my regular rotation mostly. Great razor for working under the nose area and has some positive blade exposure or blade feel. Had a close comfortable shave this morning. Blade : Gillette 7oClock permasharp(3) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity. Soap : Speick stick , nice mild spicy scented soap with some of best soap lather qualities that I have come across. Triple milled also. Brush : Yaqi "casino clubs" 26mm timber wolf knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice gentle scrubber + excellent lather painter. Yaqi marketing proto type that was released on damaged handle sale where it is common to see the Husky 26mm knot instead. Any how one very enjoyable brush that I lucked out when purchased. 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 King Lois Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).

RR Hawk V3A Shick Proline (1) Institut Karite Soap Semogue BC Mistura 26mm Finished with a cold water splash. Removed a few days worth of growth with a super smooth and comfortable shave this morning. I am going to miss this soap when I finish the puck. Rather than 3017 it, I might start a new puck of MWF just to keep it around a little longer. Enjoy your day

Slantember, Friday, Sept 1st 2023 Razor : Yaqi "Top aggressive slant"- Mfg 2019>, upper mid to aggressive range or lots of blade feel. I always like to use this razor to test my hand technique, I like to use a steep angle(riding the bar) with a short handle seems to work the best with this slant. I also try not to plunk it down at the start of a stroke(it will bite if careless), the razor is not perfect but it's a excellent razor once it is mastered. Fresh blade with a shim underneath and it will sing & deliver some stellar excellent shaving. Had a close shave this morning with no issues. Blade : Gillette 7oclock Permasharp(4 tossed) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity. Borderline tossing it out this morning while shaving. Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorite soaps for quality lather. Brush : Yaqi" Ferrari " Boar bristle, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristles, 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 : Ach Brito Lavanda 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 Top aggressive slant with a Gillette Permasharp. Have some great shaves!

It took three and half years to find me but today is day four of isolation with a mild Covid case so four days of stubble to remove. Two razors today: The MK 31 was part of a lot I won that had a different razor that I wanted. I’ve thought about keeping it but I already have one so I’ll be selling it. I shaved the first pass of half of my face with it to test it. Good edge, no tugs, no cuts or nicks, even around the chin and lips. PM if you are interested. The Leader is always a solid shave and it is what did the lion’s share of the work.
