Injector and SE Shaves

Indeed, a reminder of a very nice lunch out.

 

Fri 13th August

The Grosvenor [ 404-mixed ]
Ach Brito Mogno
RR S/S Hawk V3 -A plate
Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink [ 1 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

My first Shave with this Hawk for some time, as I have been using the OC version to test out a Kai guarded blade. With a fresh Kai Pink blade on board, the Shave today was incredibly smooth and I found it very easy to get a super close all round finish. I think that I prefer this version of the Hawk to The OC one.

 

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #423
TNNSER by Tom
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Clubman AS

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #423 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER Razor by Tom with a Personna Super (75) Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor: Yaqi 50mm Excalibur, MFG 2021, Great tame mid range, you sure can zing around the face with a Kai Protouch blade.
Blade: Kai Protouch, excellent guarded blade, close shaves with it usually, Sharp & Smoooth with reasonable blade longevity. I toss at max of 8 or less seems to be # that works for myself.
Soap: Razorock Don Marco, nice citrus scents + great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Boar brush, excellent lather generator, nice soft tips, nice scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Italian Barber Amici with witch Hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm with HA.
Results : CCA, DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur + a Kai Protouch blade.


Have some great shaves!

 

thank you sir.there have been a few on the ebay uk website lately.

 

Actually got up to 12 Shaves with the Kai Protouch MG, really works well on my tough beard and can even clear around the neck very well without causing irritation.

Saturday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse

Jayaruh #423
TNNSER by Tom
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Clubman AS

That is an absolutely beautiful razor by @twhite ! I've got his 3D version and the shaves are ultimate! Only wish I had been around earlier to get one of the aluminum ones! If you ever decide it is time for a new, well loved and well cared for home for it...

 

I have heard of fellows getting over 10 shaves, but when using my Shavette with the Protouch it started to drop off after 8 shaves it seems, I really enjoy the Kai Protouch blade.

 

I will always cherish Tom's razors. At almost 74 now I don't know how many more shaving years I have. I probably need to make a Will to designate where my razors will go when I go. HA!

 

Wrong thread...

 

A bit of an odd couple with the razor selection today but they worked well together. The Eagle improved handled the front of the neck and the cheeks above beard line. The Schick N handled the back of the neck and a little bit of cleanup.

+1 on the VDH. A surprisingly well performing, budget non-tallow based soap (melts easily to fit whatever container you want).

I am quite amazed at how quickly I can get a Top Notch Shave with this Razor/Blade combo, and all without apparent danger of mishap.
