Sunday shave, July 23rd 2023

Razor : Yaqi TFC adjustable- Mfg 2021>, well made and works well for my shave needs + affordable. This razor is based off the the 1930's Gibbs adjustable design but takes regular Gillette blades where as the Gibbs had proprietary blades. I receive nice shaves from the TFC adjustable and that is all I want in a razor. This morning had a close shave with no issues.
Blade : GSB (1) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier in my blades.
Soap : Ogallala Bayrum + sage & cedarwood- nice Bayrum scented soap + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi " barber shop pole" 24mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, great splay scrubber + great lather painter. I enjoy this brush + has a nice big handle for large hands if needed.
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 (3) + ATG(4) + pickups (4 settings).
Post shave : Witch hazel beard area cleanse +Ogallala Bayrum & sandalwood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + minor irritation + no weepers= Had a close shave with minor issues post shave with a fresh GSB blade. Should of left setting on 3 for ATG pass, one of those forgetful mornings.



Have some great shaves!

Sunday Shave.

SE Sunday shave, Aug 6th 2023

Razor : Yaqi "Katana" SE- Mfg 2019>, tame mid range, simple clamping system but can be a bit tricky making sure the blade is aligned properly(I just take a paper tuck and bump blade in place with minimal pressure and then tighten clamp.). I'm not 100% sold on 1/2 blade razors but they do work well when loaded. They are nimble to work the face stubble area but are not a whole lot smaller than a normal DE IMO. Had a nice morning shave with no issues.
Blade : Gillette Astra 1/2 blade(1) sharp and smooth with great longevity.
Soap : Gillette Pure Cream, nice sweet clean scent with excellent lather qualities. Makes excellent ubber lather also(mixed with remnants of hard soap in bowl).
Brush : Yaqi "Ever Helpful" 22mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, excellent scrubber, reasonable lather painter. This little 2band badger has a shorter HD loft with soft tips is ideal for fellows who enjoy soft badger scrubbing IMO.
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 : Razorock blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a excellent shave with my Yaqi Katana SE with a Gillette Astra SP blade.



Have some great shaves!

My Sunday shave is always with a lather catcher.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

The De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap lathered well with the Red and Black Badger Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor and a Star Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
