Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Rapira day 2
Lyko SC
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

Smooth as silk and ready to go - another great shave from this cheap little Junjie razor. By the way these Russian Rapiras are excellent blades - they have very good longevity in spite of my tough beard stubble. The Lyko cream from India is very popular in barbershops over there, it has a nice aquatic/minty scent, a little goes a long way, it’s pleasantly mentholated, and it gives great skincare. The Prep delivered its own special cooling, moisturizing, soothing postshave care, and the Aqua Velva aftershave felt so good. Three passes cleaned me up beautifully!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!
