Friday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 9
Vintage Cerrus SC (a cheap German cream)
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

A quickie but a very goodie with this Cerrus cream which has been sitting under my sink for AGES but it still performs great. The scent is minty with aquatic notes, the lather is very thick, rich, and cushiony although not too slick, it’s slightly mentholated, and it gives a pretty comfortable postshave feeling. The Gold Bond moisturizer is so soothing as well as cooling, and I absolutely LOVE the Floid Vigoroso aftershave - it’s icy cold and it smells wonderful. Two passes gave me a terrific BBS shave that I really enjoyed!

Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!

SE SOTD, Friday, April 26th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP SE, 50mm AC type with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, tame mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC for a reasonable price for a Stainless steel razor IMO. I like to use the Kai Captain Titian mild blades and it is the first AC SE razor for what ever reason I can get 8 decent shave with a AC blade, not sure why because using other razors like the Yaqi Excalibur I usually only get 6 shaves per Kai Titian pink or Schick proline blades. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain Mild (7) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity for a AC blade type IMO. One of the better performing AC blades I have used for longevity IMO.
Soap : Razorock "The Dead Sea" , very nice addictive enjoyable scented soap that turns my crank with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "mysterious space" 24mm timber wolf synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Great all a round shave brush for most of my shaving needs.
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 "The dead sea" splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus AC type razor with a Kai Captain mild blade.


Have some great shaves!

HC&C Unscented soap
Nameless Workx brush
Henson AL13 mild
Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade (Chinese)
HC&C Unscented Aftershave balm

Pleasant, comfortable shave. Recently, I have used both versions of the Gillette Wilkinson Sword blades: the Indian ones and the Chinese ones. Both versions work well in my Henson mild. The Indian blades are kind of medium in sharpness, fair in smoothness. They feel similar to an Astra SP for me. The Chinese blades are sharper and smoother. Not as sharp as a Feather, the first shave is not harsh. I am getting three good smooth shaves before I pitch the blade. After trying a pack of them, I just got 100.

I like the Israeli Crystal blades a lot. I read that, along with the Israeli Personna Platinums, that they are no longer being made in Israel. I have a lot of the Personna Platinums . They are now from Germany. I don't know about the Crystal blades. Alas, I only have a couple of packs of them.

(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend.

Another flawless combined face and head shave with the Ming Shi 2000s /Dorco Prime Platinum duo.

The Ach Brito Mogno never fails to provide a wonderful slick protective lather with a great scent with & beyond the shave. The post shave from the soap is superb making my mature rhino skin type feel moisturised & hydrated.
The classic Davidoff Cool Water ASL is always a joy to use. It has to be one of my all time favourite fragrance which I've liked since the 90's when I first purchased some. IMHO it's the best Davidoff Cool Water fragrance.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
