    Thursday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Palmolive Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #41 Two-band badger
    AutoStrop A2
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Musk AS

    The Palmolive Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A2 Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I just found a place that sells the Aqua Velva lotion in a glass bottle. Sounds like it is a different formula than the Aqua Velva Ice Blue we have locally. Have you used them both, if so what are your thoughts on the difference?

    Today is my 21 year wedding anniversary. We are going to go to dinner at a friend's restaurant tomorrow night to celebrate.
    Today I picked the Schick G with custom handle along with a Zenith Boar and Cella organic. Aqua Velva is always a good choice especially considering my wife likes the scent.

    Razor: Yaqi V2 Excalibur AC 50mm-Mfg 2021> excellent tame mid range, great design for clamping blade, small razor head, a joy to use working the face + excellent daily driver for some folks. Easier to assemble over a wash cloth because of small parts IMO.
    Blade: Feather Pro (5) sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity for AC blades. This blade works well in this razor IMO.
    Soap: Razorock The Dead SEA, unique scent & hard to describe & I enjoy it + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Artic sky 24 mm Silver tip badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, nice scrub + great lather 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 of each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock "The Dead Sea" AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion + scentless.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]excellent shave with my Yaqi V2 Excalibur with a AC Feather Pro.

    Fri 28th January

    Alpha G4 Syn 28mm
    P & B Citra Royale
    Claymore Evolution
    Schick Proline ( 4 )
    Alcolado Glacial A/S splash

    Tried the Evo today with Two days harsh growth, really smooth and comfortable. A bit of operator mishap as pushing for ultra close sustained a couple of weepers.
