Razor : Yaqi Sentinel 1.50mm 316 SS polished with a Chippendale (Darwin looking) polished 316SS handle- Mfg 2023>, mild range, machining and finish QC are great, I like to use a Kai SS extra wide blade for a boost in blade feel and results. I find this razor works well and easy on the skin with few issues. Had a great close shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Kai SS extra wide (7) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. Nice pairing with the Yaqi Sentinel razor IMO.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, nice lavender with a touch of mint? + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Dandelion" 24mm Cashmere knot, excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, Gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Cashmere knot with this handle works well for myself.
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 : Ach Brito Lavanda AS:001_wub: with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2)3 template 9.5.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Excellent shave with my Yaqi Sentinel with a Kai SS Extra wide.

SOTD JUNE 10th
June 2023 GRUME
Semogue Saturdays


Hello friends

After a week gone, I'm back. I confess that having a seven-day beard, for me, provides greater pleasure, and a challenge too.

Today, I used the Speick Stick with tallow to give security when facing the R41 with a Wizamet (3). The Semogue SOC Boar was as efficient as ever.

I finished with Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla and Ach Brito Lavanda.

What a shave!

Together with us the divine Billie on the iconic album Lady in Satin.

Have a nice weekend and great shaves.
