    I recently received some samples of captains choice products shave soap and aftershave. Today was my first chance to test them out. The Sandalwood soap smells fantastic and performed quite well. I probably could have loaded the brush a bit more but that's on me not the soap. The Venture aftershave is to my nose mild but very pleasant. It smells somewhat citrusy to me but I can't describe the scent past that. I would definitely buy some soaps and aftershave in the future and would also love to get one of there heavy weight copper shave bowls soon. The bowls look amazing.

    Today's shave was nice and easy. The Gem Featherweight deluxe shaves close but comfortable with ease. Nobel Otter Logbook lathered luxuriously with the Zenith boar brush and Aqua Velva lotion was a fantastic finishing touch.

    Razor :
    Yaqi Excalibur with Yaqi Milano 316 SS polished handle - Mfg 2021>,tame mid range, simple clamping design, head made from Zamak + small head parts, excellent results 95%+ of time for stellar shaving IMO.
    Blade : Schick proline p30, AC 50mm blades, sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity. Good pairing with razor.
    Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi " Ever helpful" 22mm 2band badger- excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, firm splay scrubber + great painter. This brush is designed for folks who enjoy the scrub but still has soft tips, short loft with HD knot makes it perfect as a scrubber.
    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 : Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Schick proline p 30 blade.

    Razor : TNNSER, 3D printed by T White- Mfg 2020> great mid range, light weight, ergonomic handle and a joy to use. Uses a Gem blade.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (7) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Yaqi Sandal wood- Not herbal sandalwood and has a sweet scent, below average lather qulities. Reasonable slickness but dissipates, not my favorite sandalwood. I guess I like the herbal Sandalwoods more and will stick to them.
    Brush : Yaqi "black marble" 24mm silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow 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 : Proraso red Sandalwood with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my TNNSER with a coated Gem blade.

    I had an excellent shave today with the Gem G Bar aka Heavy Flat Top. Cella organic whipped up well with my Rubberset 400 with Zenith boar knot. Aqua Velva Lotion finished things off.
