    Razor: Schick J
    Blade: sChick
    Brush: Yaqi 24 mm badger
    Soap: Saponifico Varesino 70th Ann.
    A/S: Proraso magical green goodness
    IMG_20220103_201821521.jpg
    Very first use of the Schick J. I have a preference for short handles, but I appreciate when longer handles are well designed. This one is balanced perfectly, the ribbed handle feels secure, and guided me to a nice shave. I appreciate the 1950s aura that this style razor exudes, from the shiny head with crown emblem to the cream colored perfectly shaped handle. I achieved a shade below BBS shave, but required 3 passes plus touch ups to get there. No weepers or irritation. An excellent shave tonight.

    I had a Magnificent Micromatic Monday makeup shave today. I didn't Sha e yesterday so I went with the Micromatic Clog-Pruf Peerless and was rewarded with a fantastic smooth easy shave. Today's watch is the Casio World Time.

    Vintage Williams and Aqua Velva along with the Pal adjustable made for a quick and easy shave today. I was actually digging for my Schick M adjustable but found the Pal first and realized I hadn't used it in a while. I'll have to search a bit more tomorrow and find the M.

    Razor: Yaqi Katana, Mfg 2020>upper mid range, nice blade feel, snapping a blade in half and placing it in half in this razor is not the easiest, should half a small magnet or alignment pins to help secure blade while tightening handle IMO. Work over a wash cloth seems to help, I finally figured a way for me to install half blades in this razor a little more easily. Head up laying on wash cloth and semi loose and tap head and tighten & then do a visual to confirm. Very inexpensive when I bought head on sale and wanted to try it out.
    Handle seems reasonable but not the best grip, does feel good in hand because it is short.
    Blade: Personna red(2) excellent blade, sharp & smooth with great longevity.
    Soap: Tabac, nice mild flowery scent with great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Viper 24mm boar, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice scrubber + great painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Fine fresh Vetiver with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(Balm) + scentless.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= [​IMG]Excellent shave with my Yaqi Katana SE with a 1/2 Personna red blade.

    I had a fantastic shave today with the Schick M dial adjustable. This is one great razor. I also used the Franken razor made from a TNNSER 3D and a Durham handle for the back of my neck. I usually can't get a proper angle no matter how I contort. The odd head angle on this little beast was nearly perfect for the job though. The brush is a mixed Badger, Boar from Maggard razors in a handle I made.

    RR 400. SE Plissoft noir
    MWF
    RR Hawk V3- OC plate
    Feather Proguard ( 1 )
    GB Grey Flannel A/S Lotion

    Still with a dry skin I chose the MWF as it provides great lather and moisturises the skin. With a fresh blade The Hawk delivered a very comfortable Shave with a good quality finish.
