According to the scent profile there is some coconut, ginger, and sea salt. I don't know if that qualifies as "food and drink", but the scent is definitely aquatic. Regardless, it is a wonderful scent and a top-notch soap. The AS is very balm like, which had me worried since I'm not usually a balm user, but I like this a lot. The rest of the shave is a Charcoal Goods level 2, gen 2 (gen 2 plate and gen 4 cap), and a work of art from Vogt and Cop.

Well my personal theme of the week lines up with the thread theme.. After Menthol Week it’s time for Citrus Week (maybe weeks, I have way to many soaps) and I was able to make it a MdC Monday

SOTD: 08/28/2023

Razor: Merkur 34G
Blade: Dorco Prime, 3rd use
Brush: Rudy Vey “Barbie” STF Knot
Preshave: PAA The Cube 2.0 Soap
Soap: Martin De Candre Agrumes
Aftershave: Fine Italian Citrus
Additional Care: Thayer’s Coconut WH
Fragrance: Hugo Boss Boss Bottled EdT

5 out of 5 stars today

Loving the new RV Barbie brush the STF is a great knot and will probably knock a couple of synthetics out of the rotation and into the closet. Might have overloaded the MdC but the shave was great.

Greetings,

Early morning face & head shave,

The schmidt R10 handle paired together with the Yingjili Tech head makes a wonderful Frankentech. The extra weight of the R10 handle handle gives a good additional heft, making a non-aggressive yet efficient duo.

Fourth outing of the Goodfellas' Smile Abysso Shaving Soap & ASL duo which provided me with another exceptional shave the lathering performance of the shaving soap is superb providing a great slick protective wonderfully scented lather in a short space of time. The matching ASL finishes the shave off excellently.

Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

DE SOTD, Tuesday, August 29th 2023

Razor : Yaqi Sentinel 1.5mm V1 316 SSP with a Chippendale handle (Darwin looking)- Mfg 2022>, mild to tame mid range. Machining and finish QC are top notch. I use a shallow angle(riding the cap) works well with this razor that other fellows have also mentioned, riding the bar works but not as smooth & close a shave IMO! Had a close shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Kai SS extra wide(10) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. Will always have a tuck of Kai SS in the Den.
Soap : Razorock "The dead Sea", nice unique scent with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorite addictive soap scents!
Brush : Yaqi "Aqua" 24mm 3band high mountain badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Interesting handle with a ever so slight prickly feeling every once in a while, very enjoyable brush.
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 "The Dead Sea" AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent close shave morning with my Yaqi Sentinel 1.50 mm V1 316 SSP with a Kai extra wide. Great combination of razor and blade for excellent shaving IMO.

Have some great shaves!
