84 of 365
SV Saturday

Razor: RR Lupo 95
Blade: Big Ben (9)
Brush: Yaqi Evil Zebra
Soap: SV Desert Vetiver

Tonight for SV Saturday Desert Vetiver popped up for a turn lathered with the Evil Zebra, an excellent combination. Let's face it though any lather that involves SV is going to be great. For some reason tonight I needed to add more water a couple of times before I had the right consistency for the lather. The Lupo made the Big Ben blade work well, but only to the extent of giving me a near BBS finish not that that was anything to complain about

DE SOTD, Sunday, March 26th, 2023, # 85 of 85 consecutive daily shaves!

Razor : Yaqi Zephyr with a Yaqi SS dimpled 316 SS handle, Mfg 2023> mild range, excellent design for clamping, smooth as silk roaming over the face, great daily shaver for folks who has sensitive skin issues. One of the smoothest razors I have ever used, very hard to cut yourself, good buffing razor IMO. I bought mine of the trending sale 3 weeks ago. Testing for first shave and it is like others have mentioned already, a excellent mild razor. The razor is accurately injection molded when shaving with both sides shaving evenly + a excellent finish with excellent QC IMO. I will have to try a Kai SS blade extra wide some time this week. Very affordable good razor if a person likes a mild razor with a standard blade IMO, a Kai SS blade extra wide will give it a boost I'm thinking for folks who like a little more blade feel (I will try the Kai SS extra wide blade a try on Tuesday).
Blade : Gillette silver blue (3) sharp & smoooth with reasonble longevity.
Soap : Razorock American barber, sharp linear unique scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Ferrari" bleached boar bristle brush, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristles, nice gentle 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 : Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=

excellent shave with my new Yaqi Zephyr razor with a GSB blade.

Have some great shaves!

Shave #85 on the year.
Quick two-pass affair without lather bowl. Good office grade shave. Smooth with no blood.

85 of 365

Razor: RR Lupo 95
Blade: Big Ben (10)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band badger
Soap: EJ Limes and Pomegranate

Tonight the EJ was back, I lathered it for a while, seemingly with no effect, when I looked at my brush it looked as though there was no soap on it at all. That was when I started a vigorous lather once my arm got tired I had a look and found the beginning of a lather. I gave myself a minute and started again finally getting enough soap to lather my face by the end though it felt like the brush was out of lather so after the first pass I had to re-load for the second pass. I found myself reloading for the third pass too. At least I ended up with a DFS, but I hope the remaining shaves with this soap aren't as difficult to lather. On the bright side it's MDC Monday tomorrow.

Life is hectic as we all know
my morning is my ahhhhh moment before the whirlwind
still daily have to catch up reading but wanted to check in

My blade comparison I knew the Wilkinson were good but surprised about the astra stainless and both are delivering the perfect post
great comfort during also I go back & forth I though the astra was nicer yesterday but today the Wilkinson might have been nicer ?
and have to say its going to be tough to pick that top 1 or 2 in the end ! With my other nacet and green 7
OR I might just buy 100 of my top 4 and just enjoy for a while ? Not sure yet

the astra at about $8 vs the wilkinson at about $18 is the thing that might let the astra win unless the wilkinson can deliver 2x the shaves ? But that is if it makes it that far

anyway tomorrow going to keep shaving with these two
