How do you like the brush? I’ve got the metal handle version on the way with the noir knot.

I like it, but I'm not the one to ask. I'm a synth whore. I really haven't met a synthetic knot I don't like.

Saturday shave

Prep: PAA Cube 2.0
Soap: Mama Bear's Giovanni's Tuscan Memories
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Mistura (badger/boar mix)
Razor: Yaqi Beast on RazoRock radio knob handle, shave #11
Blade: Astra SP, shimmed (#4)
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid -> Lucky Tiger

Another DFS tonight. Maybe not quite as close as last night, but then the soap wasn't as slick, either. Steep-angled it again and zero issues. I think that's the approach to take with this razor. Makes it pretty effortless and seems to reduce blade feel, too, which is a bonus for me. <--I haven't read too much about steep-angle shaving , so don't know if that's actually correct, but it sure feels that way.

Soap Ariana & Evans Kaizen
Brush Yaqi 24mm Ruby Tuxedo
Razor Yaqi Knight Helmet
Blade Elios Inoxidable 1st
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Old Spice Original
Excellent lather. Good scent and performance. Too much leftover even after 4 applications.
This aggressive razor requires a suitable blade and the chosen pairing was good. Sharpish, smooth and reasonably comfortable for 3passes. Gotta keep the angle shallow and ride the cap. Results is between bbs to dfs with 1 micro weeper. Excellent post & aftershaves.
Rating 9.5/10
