    Brush : Yaqi" Ever helpful" 22mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips with some backbone, very nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. If a person likes a very nice scrubber in 2band badger this was designed for those folks IMO.

    Razor : Razorock Lupo.72 316 SSP head. Mfg 2021>, mid range. Excellent machining, finish + design QC for my shave needs. Checks all the boxes for myself in a razor to receive a decent shave, if operator has good hand technique the razor should give the other needs for close comfortable shaves like this morning shave IMO.

    Soap : Razorock XXX has a nice unique clean scent that just uplifts a person with some excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi"Red Zebra" 26mm snow leopard knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. My 1st 26mm brush that impressed me so much that now I have a total of 5 of 26mm knots.
    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 with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless) + mist of XXX cologne scent.
    Results : [​IMG] or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my RR lupo.72 with a Personna red blade. Wonderful shave this morning.
