Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Old Spice Original Shave Cream
Tom's B400 Two-band Badger
Bunny V3 Injector
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Lilac Vegetal

The Old Spice Original Shave Cream lathered well with Tom's B400 Two-band Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor with the WILD comb and a Supply Black Label Blade Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Lilac Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 5
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Prep ASB
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

Ever since I discovered Abir’s soaps and aftershaves I became so enamoured with them - his Absolute Zero is a menthol monkey’s dream come true. The scent is so nice - it’s aquatic with strong menthol fumes, the soap’s vegan formula gives it such fantastic lather, the menthol sensation is killer cold just like any of the Stirling Glacials, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep and the Absolute Zero aftershave toner did such a great job of soothing as well as moisturizing and freezing my skin some more. Last but not least the beautiful, elegant Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m ready for the day. Three glorious passes left me smoother than silk - what a dynamite shave this was!

Enjoy your day and your weekend - be well and safe!

SE SOTD, Friday, August 11th 2023

Razor : Yaqi SE Excalibur AC type 50mm with a Yaqi Milano SSP handle- Mfg 2021>, tame mid range, simple clamping system, very nimble small head to work the beard area(I assemble over a washcloth). A good affordable razor head that gives me excellent shaves consistently, I prefer the chrome head over the matte finished head Excalibur. Had a great close shave this morning !
Blade : Schick proline p30(5) sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity for a AC blade.
Soap : Razorock Irish Countryside, nice scented soap 4-5/10 + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Lucky dice" 26mm brown whiskers fan knot, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Yaqi Fan knots are rare and won this on a live raffle sale months ago.
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 Irish Countryside AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur 50mm with a Schick proline blade. This SE razor is ideal for my shaving needs but the blades are more money than a DE blades.


Have some great shaves!
