Thursday Afternoon 13/03/25

• Razor : Yaqi Ghost TI 90 DC. (safety bar/open comb) "open comb side"
• Blade : Feather Hi-Stainless.(1)
• Brush : Yaqi Caramel Cat Whiskers synthetic.
• Soap : Noble Otter Orbit.
• Balm : T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel.
• Razor weight : 58 grams.

Hi all,
Good after work shave yesterday and the first meaningful rain this year.
I shaved with the Ghost TI 90 on the open comb side and in my opinion I like it better on the
safety bar side.
Just to be clear the previous shave was 2 days growth yesterday was 3 days growth.
I felt the razor didn't shave as efficiently with the open comb side, sometimes it can take a few shaves
to dial in the angle on an open comb.
The hybrid plate design was the main reason I wanted to add this razor to my small modern razor line up.
1 pass WTG/ATG and a few touch ups done.

I really enjoyed the Noble Otter Orbit the scent is very nice as was the fresh feeling after the shave a little like
Proraso green on the face but the scent has more going on.

I hope you all enjoy the coming weekend the footy is back! (AFL) for me.
Cheers.

 

14 March 2025

1 Days growth

Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Proraso Wood and spice
Cream/Soap = Stirling Bergamot and Lavendar
Brush = Omega boar 10049
Bowl = White bowl
Razor = Muhle Rocca 96
Blade = Henckels (2)
Passes = 2 +
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, TOBS Royal forest
ASL = Proraso Barbe Dure with Oud
Scent = Proraso Wood and Spice Cologne
Score = 9.8 / 10
Damage = no damage

Another great outing with the Rocca 96. It has a fairly wide (looking) blade gap that got the blade singing happily in accompaniment to the birds outside. I find it easier to use than when I first purchased this about 2 yrs ago. Fact is, the angle of attack is finicky, but once you find it, it chirps beautifully. Light pressure, multiple strokes, perfection

Of course the Stirling always lathers up great with narry a bubble in sight (take note Mitchell’s Wool Fat) and provides slicktion perfection

The only downside to the shave was that, for me, the Proraso Pre-Shave does not do the job as sell as the T&H No Gel. Nice scent though

Great start to the Friday, hope your shaves turn out as well

 

I like my Voskhods too Barry. Nice Setup and great shave

Thank you Chris.. I will continue to use the Voskhods in my April focus, I'll pairing them together with my Yaqi DOC Mellon Razor Head./Schmidt R10 Handle frankenrazor. I've became very fond of the Yaqi DOC Mellon Razor Head, it gives a close comfortable shave. Enjoy the coming weekend.
