Brush: C&H 'Eyespot' V18
Soap: Speakeasy
Razor: Koraat 6/8
Post: Speakeasy AS & EDP

Wonderful shave this morning after a brief refresh last night. Seemed to do the trick and bring it back, though I did get a bit of feedback from the AS, clearly out of practice.

Nice finish and ready for the weekend to kick off.

Hope everyone has a cracking day!

Cheers

Sorry no Canadian again, but as most of today's gear is from the UK and Canada is part of the Commonwealth, I think it counts. BBS in 3, damn the streamline is just brilliant.

And the AS is superb too. I can't describe the scent just that it complements the Culmak really well. It's a flowery but really delicate scent and great on the freshly shaved skin.

Going to the next razor in my rotation: a Mergress XL. I loaded the Mergress with a fresh Personna Medical Prep blade. As usual, the combo worked. Today is the 54th shave with MdC. Another perfect shave. Have a good day and weekend, folks.

SV Saturday
Semogue Saturdays


Hello friends,

Beautiful autumnal Saturday morning. Perfect to finish off a 3-day beard. In that sense, nothing better than get my tub of Saponificio Varesino and call the Fantastic Four: Merkur, Gillette, Semogue and Williams. What a team!
Aqua Velva Ice Blue paired surprisingly well with the aquatic aromas of the SV 70th Anniversary. Progress (5/4/3) was perfect with Nacet (2) and SOC Mistura my friends, it is an indescribable brush…

To accompany me on this journey towards Paradise, I invited my old friend Dexter.

Have a nice weekend and great shaves!
❤️ 🪒

DE SOTD, Saturday, March 25th 2023, Day 4 of testing my Yaqi Sentinel 1.5 mm gap 316 SS.

Razor : Yaqi Sentinel, 1.5mm, 316L stainless steel with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SS Darwin looking handle.-Mfg 2022>, mild range, Well built with accurate machining and a nice polished finish.

The razor and blade was a good match and the results worked well IMO.
Blade : Kai SS extra wide, sharp and smooth with excellent longevity.
Soap : Yaqi Green- nice fresh scent with excellent lather qualities, Yaqi commissioned Master soap creations of S.A to make their line of soaps and aftershave.
Brush : Yaqi "Mountain lake" 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, very nice splay scrubber + great lather painter.
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 : Yaqi Green AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Excellent shave with my Yaqi Sentinel 316 SS with a Kai Extra wide blade.
