Fabulous shave today. Froze my face with the last remnants of the super mentholated Captain Nemo Absolute Zero. My only complaints about this shave soap is that it’s often out of stock and the tin is too small. This Ragg is always stored in its travel case so I sometimes overlook it. Easy Peasy, quick and super close shave. Oh, and topping it all off with vintage Old Spice was a real treat all by itself.

Yesterday & Today
Two more great shaves with the Karve, Polsilver and Fine. As good as it gets.

The Colonia splash is done. Not my fave SV scent, but it was still a quality product.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

The Palmolive Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 2-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Parker Variant Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday morning:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Derby day 6
Bundubeard Impi SS
Bundubeard Boomslang 1 ASB
Mennen Skin Bracer AS Splash

This new Impi soap from Bundubeard is friggin awesome - today was my first time using it and I love it already. It’s glycerine based, it has a very nice scent which is a blend of fruitiness and coffee, it gives tremendous lather that has lots of slickness, there’s a pleasant menthol sensation, and it leaves a really comfortable postshave feeling. The Boomslang 1 balm is so soothing as well as moisturizing, it’s fairly mentholated, and the scent is very similar to Brut. Jaco is another Grand Master of soaps and aftershaves. Finally a couple of icy cold slaps of the Skin Bracer aftershave and the job was complete. Another great three pass BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

Enjoy the weekend and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

SE SOTD, Friday, Feb 2nd 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316SSP head on a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP- Excellent machining and finish QC for my shaving needs. Small head parts make me assemble blade on a wash cloth just in case I drop a part. The Romulus razor does have some positive blade exposure but if a person wants a little more blade feel use a Feather pro super or shim it .006 works excellent also. I had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain Titian mild(3) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, nice milder scented lavender with a touch of mint possibly with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Ferrari " 24mm boar bristle knot. Excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice 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 : Ach Brito Lavanda cologne 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 SE with a Kai captain titian mild.


Have some great shaves!
