Trying a second Schick blade to see if the first one was a dud. It wasn't. They just don't suit my skin type even after 3 uses to bed them in.
Removed the Schick blade put in a Captain Kai mild and all was good in the world.
Great shave from the Stirling soap, probably just about the easiest lathering soap I have.

| Comments | A few constants today. The razor, blade, and soap are the same as yesterday. Today I am using my Muhle Silvertip Fibe brush. At one time this was my travel brush. Now I use a Rudy Vey with a Muhle knot as my travel brush. The Noble Otter soap gave me some nice, rich, slick lather. A perfect shave. |

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur AC 50mm + new Milano polished 316 SS handle- Mfg 2021> excellent upper mild to tame mid range, interesting simple clamping system, small head parts and I like to work over a wash cloth. I always get decent shaves with this Excalibur SE.
Blade : Feather Pro AC 50mm- sharp & smooth + reasonable longevity for a AC blade.
Soap : Ogallala Bayrum sage & cedar wood , nice scent of Bayrum + some clove, this soap works well with a pastier lather with a wet face and it will produce some nice slick lather, try not to perfect it in the bowl is my conclusion. Very enjoyable soap to master.
Brush : Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24 mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent 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 : Ogallala Bayrum & sandal wood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=
Excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur with a AC Feather pro.
Have some great shaves!

Favorite artisan week. When I first saw ebonite brush handles years ago I knew immediately that I wanted one. So, I asked Derek at Wild West to make me one and I mined the knot from my Omega boar to put in it. Still one of my favorite brushes. I think Derek's shop burned down shortly after.
