    Friday morning:

    Salaam aleikum wa Rahmat Allah al barakatu!

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Gillette day 3
    Ingram SC
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

    Although I’m mainly a soap user since a few years I still enjoy certain creams occasionally and this Egyptian version of Ingram is one of them. The scent is exactly like the original British version, the lather is also the same - so easy to work up, the menthol sensation of this version is somewhat stronger, and the skincare is definitely better. The Prep is unbeatable as a balm, and Aqua Velva Sport aftershave not only smells really nice - it’s so cooling and refreshing. Today’s shave was BBS and so enjoyable!

    Have a great weekend - be well and safe!

    Very rewarding two pass, minor touch-up BBS shave this morning.

    I highly recommend both the Speick shaving cream and aftershave splash. Wonderful post shave feel. Manly scent that lasts. I get a tangible soothing sensation during the shave and after applying the splash. Nice thick, slick lather easily whipped up in seconds.

    For those that have not tried Speick products, next time you're looking to add a few items to get free shipping, give them a try. For those who have used Speick, they know of what I speak.

    Cream: Speick
    Brush: Omega S 10065
    Bowl: Dollar Tree salsa
    Razor: Fatip Grande
    Blade: Astra SP (6)
    Aftershave: Speick

    Friday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    LaToja Shaving Stick
    Jayaruh #426
    Gillette Twinjector
    Personna Injector
    CWR
    Lucky Tiger AS

    The LaToja Shaving Stick lathered well with Jayaruh #426 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Twinjector with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Another not often seen razor in action! Love those Cooper MonoBilt flip-top razors! Great shavers and built like a tank!

    Razor: Yaqi Excalibur V1- Mfg 2021- excellent tame mid range, nice to manipulate the face & light weight. Aluminum handle.
    Blade: Kai Protouch(6)+ Chinese Blue brand(1) The Protouch seemed tuggy so changed out to the Blue brand. Protouch excellent blade, Blue brand are OK, Very sharp, but not a lot of longevity I'm finding. 50 mm blades that sit for some time will lose some sharpness! Gem PTFE rules for longevity IMO.
    Soap: Gillette Pure cream, nice scent with great lather qualities at a great price.
    Brush: Yaqi lucky dice 26mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, excellent scrubber + great lather painter + great for folks with large hands that like a nice scrub IMO.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock American barber(nice scent with staying power)with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm with HA.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur V1 with a Blue blade.
