Friday morning:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 10
Lord Emofresh SC
Prep ASB
F&C Black Powder AS Splash

Once again some stuff that I haven’t used in a long time so I decided to pull them out for today. The Lord cream is from Egypt and it’s very nicely scented, just a small dab on both cheeks gives wonderful lather with a mild menthol sensation, and a very comfortable postshave feeling. The Prep took great care of my skin because it needed it, and the Black Powder aftershave not only smells beautiful, it’s got plenty of menthol in it. Two passes left me as smooth as silk - these Minora blades are terrific!

Have a great weekend - be well and safe!

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Red
Jayaruh #206 2-band badger
Gillette New Standard
Astra SP
CWR
Pinaud Vanilla AS

The Proraso Red Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #206 two-band Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Standard with an Astra SP gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Vanilla After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

That really is a nice looking set.

Hmmm....sounds like something I would say to...

Nope, better not say it or I will get banned.

 

Thank you

SE SOTD Oct 8th 2021

Razor: Yaqi AC 50mm V2 Excalibur, Mfg 2021> excellent mid range(tame),Great design, great results & enjoyable+ affordable.
Blade : Feather AC 50mm (5) excellent, sharp & smooth + some longevity. Came with the Excalibur razor.
Soap: Speick, nice mild spicy scent, excellent lather qualities. Tripled milled in the stick variant. Lasts a long time IMO.
Brush: Yaqi Ever-helpful 22 mm, 1st use, densely backed, great lather generator, pillow like soft tips, good backbone + good lather painter. The Yaqi 24 mm 2band badger brushes splays easier than this 22mm, I think the loft could be 2-3mm higher IMO like the Yaqi 22mm Sagrada Familia 2band badger, not a lather hog + designed for a great scrubber first impressions.
It is early to totally evaluate the total potential of this little brush. Happy so far.
Pre-shave: Brush(Cashmere 24mm) wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock King Louis Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturiser lotion balm( excellent + scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper= Excellent shave with my Yaqi V2 Excalibur with a Feather blade.

Have some great shaves!

 

Thank you.

Clark Improved King, CVS carbon steel blade, shave 2


One thing I forgot about these blades since it has been awhile since I've used one. The first shave is little rough compared to the rest once the blade is worn. these are hands down the smoothest shaving blades available once broken in. End result BBS finish achieved.
