Last combined face & head shave of the month. Everything in my shave set up this morning paired together superbly.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Creightons Sensitive PSB.

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

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

Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap
Jayaruh #457
Russian Rocket 5/8
Cold Water Rinse
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla AS

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #457 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Russian Rocket 5/8 Straight Razor gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Saturday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 8
Wilkinson Sword SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Island Man AS Splash

The last time I used this Wilkinson Sword soap was about let’s see, perhaps ten years ago and for such cheap stuff I must say it’s pretty damned decent. Its scent is very nice - it’s very cologney with sporty notes, although it’s glycerine based it lathers great, it’s fairly slick, and the postshave feeling is not bad at all. The Gold Bond moisturizer is so soothing as well as very cooling, and the Island Man aftershave smells MAGNIFICENT. Three passes gave me a helluva great BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely - what a way to close out the month of August!

Have a great long weekend - be well and safe!

DE SOTD, Saturday, August 31st 2024, total Razorock shave for a change!

Razor : Razorock Game changer.84 316SSP with a Razorock button knob 316SSP knurled. Mfg 2018>, tame mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC. Blade loading is different for this 3pc razor but works with no issues over the years. I like to use a Kai SS extra wide blade in this razor for a little more blade feel and results are stellar. I have used many other blades but the Kai SS gives a little more blade exposure but nothing over the top. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning!
Blade : Kai SS (8) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. This blade is slightly wider than other DE blades by 8-9/1000 of inch. Top tier blade for those mild razors without using shims!
Soap : Razorock Lavender, very nice masculine scent of lavender and a few other scents + excellent lather qualities. (Discontinued) One of my favorite Lavender soaps by far!
Brush : Razorock 24mm Plissoft synthetic. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. One of the best synthetic brushes I owned 7 yrs ago but synthetic knots have had a few generation changes over the years.
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 King louis lavender splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my RR GC.84 with a Kai SS blade.


Have some great shaves!
