Razor : Razorock 2nd generation Lupo.72, Mfg and released January 2021>, excellent mid range IMO. The razor since owning in January of 2021+ with a mature technique performs very well for my Beard type + many others. Excellent machining and finish QC that works well for most folks. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gillette 7oClock Permasharp (3) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream, nice rose scented 6/10 redish in color, does not stain my brushes + excellent lather qualities. The more you use CRS creams the more a person enjoys them has been my conclusion.
Brush : Yaqi "barber shop" 24 mm 2band badger. excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Great brush that has a large handle for folks with larger hands + great for my shaving needs!
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 : Italian barber Amici 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 RR Lupo.72 with a Gillette Permasharp blade.


Have some great shaves!

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/7 AM day 4
MSC Citrus Melody SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
MSC Citrus Melody AS Splash

Man oh man am I ever frozen from using this setup - my dear brother Fernando’s Citrus Melody soap and aftershave are two menthol atom bombs. The scent is gorgeous - it seems to be lemony driven but I also detect notes of lime and even a bit of tangerine. The soap’s tallow formula gives it such magnificent lather that’s super slick, the menthol sensation is killer cold, (just like any of the Stirling Glacials) and the postshave feeling is brilliant. The Gold Bond moisturizer is wonderful as a balm, and the Citrus Melody aftershave smells exactly as beautiful as the soap, and the menthol kick is off the friggin charts. Another delightful three pass BBS shave that was so enjoyable.

Be well and stay safe - happy shaving!
