Pre:-
Razor: Yuma
Blade: Derby Usta 1st use
Brush: Yaqi Moka Express 24mm Synth
Soap: Colonel Conk Bay Rum
Post: generic Witch Hazel, TOBS Bay Rum
Result: BBS, 2 weepers

I'm not a big fan of Derb. The first pass was a bit tuggy to be honest and they didn't feel sharp at all. 2nd and 3rd were smooth though and in the end, to my suprise, I got a BBS. Let's see how the next shaves are going. The little Yuma is amazing, so light and such a nimble head it is really a joy to use despite it's crappy appearance. It's smoother than my Old Type with no bladefeel whatsoever even though the head looks quite similar.

Before shaving, hot shower of the head and face,

One of my favorite razors, very nice for shaving the head and face = ikon SB

As well as one of my favorite razor blades = Gillette Platinum

Budget cream ... But I like its smell ... I remember it from my childhood = Wars


After shaving, I didn't apply any aftershave, just a cold shower on my head and face
