    Greetings,

    A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....I have returned to the Lord Silver Star Super Stainless which are my personal favourite from the Lord factory and have paired together well with my 50's vintage Ball End tech & the Baili BD 191 wonderfully feeling smooth and efficient.

    First outing of the Goodfellas' Smile Abysso Shaving Soap & matching ASL which are both excellent. The slickness and post shave feel from the soap is superb.

    The Abysso soap fragrance is a great clone of Davidoff Cool Water which is one of my all time favourite scents.

    Another close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

    My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine. ;)

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

    Saturday morning:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 13
    Captain Nemo Blend 47 SS
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    I wouldn’t call this a Grand Freeze but it was still a very pleasantly chilly setup. My dear friend Abir in Kolkata, India is another very talented artisan who makes AWESOME soaps and aftershaves - his Blend 47 soap is vegan based as I’ve said before, it has a nice eucalyptus scent with thick, rich, creamy, super slick lather, the menthol sensation is on the medium side - somewhat stronger than Proraso Green but definitely not intense, and the postshave feeling is so comfortable. The Prep delivered so generously on the moisturizing, cooling, and soothing, while the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave gave me a good menthol kick. Man oh man do I ever love the Bleu de Chanel - to me it’s absolutely beautiful. Three passes cleaned me up so brilliantly - what a dynamite BBS shave this was!

    See y’all tomorrow - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Red
    Jayaruh #443 Synthetic
    Classic Samurai
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Lustray Spice After Shave

    The Proraso Red Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #443 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Classic Samurai Shavette Razor and a half Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor : Yaqi Sentinel 1.50mm 316 SS polished with a Chippendale (Darwin looking) polished 316SS handle- Mfg 2023>, mild range, machining and finish QC are great, I like to use a Kai SS extra wide blade for a boost in blade feel and results. I find this razor works well and easy on the skin with few issues. Had a great close shave this morning with no issues.
    Blade : Kai SS extra wide (7) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. Nice pairing with the Yaqi Sentinel razor IMO.
    Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, nice lavender with a touch of mint? + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Dandelion" 24mm Cashmere knot, excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, Gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Cashmere knot with this handle works well for myself.
    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 AS[​IMG] with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2)3 template 9.5.1.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Yaqi Sentinel with a Kai SS Extra wide.

    Hi Friends,

    Here my Sunday Shave (11.06.2023)

    My first Coldwater-Shave of the year :cool::cool::cool:

    EB308B29-9C81-4D19-87E0-33AFA947F013.jpeg
    Pre: Floid Sandolor // Razor: Mühle Rocca Jet // Blade: Gillette Wilkinson India (1) // Soap: Soap Commander Drive // Brush: Shavemac // Aftershave: P&B Spitfire

    So…my first Coldwater-Shave is in the books. The temperatures outside are hot so i thought „why not“. Man, was this a refreshing shave. I do Coldwater-Shaves always in the Summer when it is hot and humid outside. Works well.

    So here…after getting up i brewed some coffee. My wife got up a few minutes later and we had a cup of coffee on the balcony. Now it was time for the shave.

    Walked into the bathroom, placed everything and the shave was ready to be started. After washing my face with ice cold water i applied the Floid Sandolor Preshave. Magical stuff. So sad that it is not in production anymore, but we have the Furbo Sansdolor as a legit successor.

    Lathered up this wonderful smelling soap in my Schwarzweiß ceramic bowl and i was ready to go. Put the blade in the razor and started shaving. Wow…the green Gillette was a very good blade with this razor, but the Gillette Wilkinson from India is definitely a step up. A nearly perfect combo. So smooth, sharp, gentle and thoroughly. I have had two shaves with the Rocca (this was the third one) and the shaves are getting better and better. I am so glad that i gave this razor a try. I have ordered the complete Stainless version yesterday.

    Soap Commander Drive…what a homerun. Leathery notes with the freshness of the Vetiver…wow. Glide, cushion, skincare…what are we talking about? Come on…it is Soap Commander. Couldn ´t get much better.

    After 2,5 passes i was completely BBS with zero irritation, nicks, cuts, whatsoever. This razor could be a razor for a lonely island. Wonderful.

    Due to the fact that i do not have the matching Aftershave or the Balm, i tried the P & B Spitfire Aftershave. At first the Juniper comes through but after a few minutes the Leather appeared. What a fantastic match.

    It was such a wonderful, refreshing shave. I am sitting on the balcony in the sun while i write these lines, with a cup of coffee. Life is good.

    Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten
