Pre: PAA Cube 2.0 face wash
Brush: Yaqi Mountain Lake two-band badger
Razor: Parker Semi-slant
Blade: Astra SP (#3)
Cream: Palmolive Menthol
Post: Alum followed by Dapper Dragon Ice Wyrm Scale Polish
Went back for another run at the Yaqi tonight, this time with some cream. A lot of cream. Thanks to @benos for the suggestion and it worked a treat. Much better performance from the brush and plenty of lather. Speaking of lather, first use of Palmolive and I like it. Also first use of Scale Polish and that was excellent. All in all, a good shave.
I think it's time to move onto another razor as I've been using the Parker for just over eight weeks straight as I've been learning. Next up: 1968 Gillette Slim. Shooting to start with that one Sunday night.
Have a great weekend!
