Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Derby day 4
RVT Yuka Lyptik SS
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

It’s been quite a while since I last shaved with this Yuka Lyptik soap so I decided to pull it out this morning and I’m glad that I did. This soap is vegan based, it has a nice eucalyptus scent which is exactly like the Halls eucalyptus lozenges, it lathers great, it gives pretty good slickness, it’s got a good middle of the road menthol sensation, and it has excellent postshave care. The Prep and the Aqua Velva aftershave were a perfect finish. Three passes gave me a terrific BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

The Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #423 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Darwin-Handle Gillette Old Type and a Personna SuperC Blade (74) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
