    Stirling Syn 26mm
    MWF
    Claymore Evolution
    Feather Proguard ( 6 )
    Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

    Been away for a few days, and came back a day early, as a bit under the weather. Today was my first Shave for 3 days, so some growth to contend with. MWF as a soap really works for me as it produces a superb lather to Shave with, and as I really took my time with the Shave I was rewarded with a bit of a “Face Stroker”.

    Trick or Treat week, daily double, Saturday, October 29th 2022

    Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm, Yaqi Milano handle, Mfg 2021> excellent tame mid range, interesting clamping design, small head parts. I always receive excellent shaves with this razor 95%> of the time.
    Razor : Yaqi Telstar DE head with a Micromatic handle - Mfg head 2022>,mid range, good finish on Zamak head with positive blade feel.
    Blade : Schick Proline p30, sharp & smoooth with reasonable longevity. I enjoy this blade a lot.
    Blade: Treet black beauty carbon steel (2 .33) sharp & smooth for 2 shaves . Its a 2 shave blade for myself with my beard type. The first 2 shaves where great!
    Soap : Mitchell's wool fat, mild clean scent when puck is dry, when lathered scent is more noticeable, good lather qualities. Triple milled, I cut some slivers off with my pocket knife and press into bowl and start with a squeezed damp brush(2 flicks will work) and just start until the paste starts and just add drops of water by hand or a spray mister and repeat...... until desired lather reached and it produces a nice lather. Too much water at first will make your lather bubbly & will make you chase your preferred lather is my conclusion. Easy soap to use in 1-2 minutes of lathering then apply to a wet face.
    Brush : Yaqi "orbital ring"24mm boar bristle, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristles, excellent splay scrubber + good 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 : witch hazel beard cleanse + Nivea refreshing AS(nice scent)+ a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] I started out with the Treet blade but it was not performing well so went with my Yaqi Excalibur 50mm with a Schick proline p30 blade with the normal excellent results.

    Schick Sunday Shave, Oct 30th, 2022

    Razor : Stick Schick, L type theme series- Mfg 1973- mild range, interesting razor and it is very comfortable to shave with + and a joy to use.
    Blade : Schick Personna injector SS PTFE(9) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
    Soap : Mitchell's wool fat, nice mild scent when dry but when lathered the scent increases, all I do is cut a few slivers with my pocket knife and press in bowl and with a squeezed brush(2 flicks will do)start the lathering looking for a paste to form and then add some hand water drops or a spray mister keep stirring and add some droplets of water & stir...... until your happy 1-2 minutes later it is ready. The secret to this soap is not to over whelm it with water at first or you will just chase it IMO. Apply to a wet face. Synthetic brushes work excellent also with this hard triple milled soap like shown.
    Brush : Yaqi Moka express 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent 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 : Razorock blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave with my Stick Schick injector with a Personna coated blade.

    The Grosvenor 404 mixed
    Lea Classic soap
    Claymore Evolution
    Feather Proguard ( 7 )
    Lea Classic A/S Lotio

    As still a bit under the weather missing out on regular Shaves, and when doing so seem to be relying on The Evo. I have found that with a good Lather and no rush I get top quality hassle free Shaves with it.

    Alpha Classic G4 28mm
    Williams Mug soap
    RR Hawk V3- A plate
    Feather Pro ( 2 )
    Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

    Not a bad Shave , but am afraid that I am finding that The Claymore Evolution is better for me in terms of comfort and performance.

    The Schick type F along with the Rubberset 400 with Zenith baor knot was selected for today's shave. Sterling Soaps Executive Man provided lather and Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Lotion finished things off. Today's watch is the Casio G-Shock GW-M5610 and the knife of the day is a Spyderco Para3. The awesome prop everything is displayed on is a CNC Artifact art piece by @petesquared23. If you are not one of his 130K subscribers you should check his Instagram page out.
