Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)
A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend. I can't remember the I last time that I added the Boots Cool Cologne Lather Shave Cream to my soap/cream rotation, and forgot how it produces a good protective slick lather, with a nice clean fragrance...However, it's not quite as good has the Palmolive Classic cream, but still a good in-expensive shave cream, which i have totally under appreciated, like a few other shaving assortments I've neglected in my humble shaving den.

The Statum Platinum Chrome are another Indian made blade which my mature rhino skin type likes and paired together with the King C Gillette wonderfully. The characteristics of the SPC feel like an hybrid of the Treet 7 Days Platinum/Dorco prime platinum the smoothness of the Dorco PP with the assertiveness of the Treet TDP...I've came to the conclusion that if a blade works for the individual user with acceptable results that's all that matters. It doesn't matter where the origin of DE blade is manufactured. Most Sub-continent made shaving assortments don't get the credit they rightly deserve. Another excellent blade.

The Treet Swift II Platinum started to feel uncomfortable & tuggy on the ATG + Pickup pass on leaving my head feeling DFS/close and fortunately with no cuts or irritation. I will change the Cartridge head for for my next head/dome shave on Tuesday....Head/dome shaving dulls a blade edge much quicker than with face shaving. I'm not complaining as 3 head/dome shaves from a blade/cartridge head is good going IMHO.

A DF face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Arko Cool ASB.

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
Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #423 Two-band Badger
Lee Manufacturing
CWR
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

The Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #423 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Lee Manufacturing 5/8 straight 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...

 

Saturday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 6
Lyko SC
Arko Aqua AS Gel
Max Refreshing AS Splash
Polo Green EdT

This Lyko cream is from India and it’s apparently very popular in barbershops over there. It has a really nice aquatic scent with minty notes, a little goes a long way for thick, rich, creamy, slick lather, it has a mild but pleasant menthol sensation, and it gives a soothing, comfortable postshave feeling. The Arko Aqua gel is surprisingly very cooling as well as moisturizing, and the scent is so refreshing. The Max Refreshing aftershave is from Bulgaria and not only does it smell great, it gives a strong menthol kick. Finally the Polo Green fragrance which pairs so well with the aftershave I used. Another fabulous three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

See y’all tomorrow - same time, same station!

DE SOTD, Saturday, December 16th 2023

Razor : Yaqi Zephier - Mfg 2022>, mild range. Interesting simple design that is well casted in Zamak and a decent chromed finish. This razor caught my eye & when it came up on a sale why not! It reminds me over a Gillette super speed razor with a exception smooth glide. I usually like using a Kai SS blade with this razor head but opted for a Perm-sharp blade. The razor is designed for speed and sensitive skin folks would be evaluation of it with a narrow angle sweet spot, Kai SS blade improves the angle sweet spot I recall. Had a comfortable DFS shave this morning.
Blade : Perma-sharp (3) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock XXX Fresco, nice clean unique similar to XXX scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Mysterious space" 24mm Timberwolf knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 Fresco 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 Zephier razor with a Gillette Perma-sharp blade.


Have some great shaves!
