Well, that was a really enjoyable shave! I seriously couldn't fault it... the lather whipped up light, fluffy, and shiny.. slickness was spot on, as was the residual slickness... definitely no problems there... In fact, it was that enjoyable, that I was making extra passes just for the fun of it... Yeah, a great start to my week.

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Ingram Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #287 brush. I did two passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic Razor with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Italian Barber Amici
Yaqi Mysterious Space (24mm Finest Fan, Frigate Class)
Baxter of California Shave Tonic and ASB

This morning the Cooper MonoBilt proved once again why it is king. Super easy and super smooth. It was one of those shaves where you keep checking to see if you actually have a blade in the razor. I've also been quite impressed with the 7 O'Clock Permasharp Stainless blades from India. To me they are just as sharp and smooth as the Super Platinum and hang out in the top tier along with the finest Russian steel. With only two more shaves left of the Amici I will dedicate myself to finishing it off this week! Lasts but not least the Yaqi Finest fan performed excellently. It had more backbone then the sivertip but not as much as the finest bulb. None of the Yaqi badger brushes that I have tried have has any scritch to them and have only shed a couple of hairs of their first few latherings. Have a great day my friends!
