    Sunday morning:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Rapira day 13
    Captain Nemo Shepherd SS
    Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
    Aveeno Moisturizer
    English Leather Classic AS Splash

    These Rapira blades are unbelievably good - this one has been performing great for almost two weeks although it’s gotten quite a bit duller so after tomorrow I’ll change it. These Captain Nemo soaps are all vegan based but they are excellent - this Shepherd has a beautiful scent, it’s so easy to lather, and the skincare is terrific. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel hardly has any scent but it’s so soothing, the Aveeno moisturizer is unscented so it doesn’t interfere with any aftershave or fragrance you use, and it leaves a very comfortable feeling. Finally the English Leather aftershave went on with a bit of a sting but then it felt great, and do I ever love its old school scent. Three passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was so enjoyable!

    Wishing y’all a good Sunday - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    The Start Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Sunday injector blade Shave, April 2nd 2023

    Razor : Yaqi SE Excalibur, 50mm AC blade type, Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Simple clamping system, seems well built the Excalibur chrome head, small head parts to assemble(work over a wash cloth).
    Performance is excellent for 95%>of the time I find. Pairs well with a Schick proline P20 or P30 50mm blades. Had a excellent shave this morning.
    Blade : Schick Proline P30(6) sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. Pairs well with my Excalibur razor.
    Soap : Tabac, flowery clean type of scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Atlantis" 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber, excellent lather painter. This brush is similar to my Yaqi Silvertip badger brushes when it comes to face feel.
    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 XXX AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2)3 template 9.5.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Schick proline P30 blade. Very enjoyable, carefree mostly shave this morning.

    Used the Haslinger for 30 straight (ish) shaves to finish it off. A quality product, but I’m glad to be moving on.
    Have a great day all.
