First 3 pass shave with the GEM Junior. Not bad, but my technique needs some work.

Ace of Spades from First Canadian Shave has lots of tobacco and cherry so it was a perfect match with Mugler’s Pure Havane.

I don’t see many Spiffo brushes as of late, but they are excellent and well priced. The Manchurian knot is top shelf.

SOTD: 6th November 2022.

​

Shaving recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower:/Lynx Africa Squeezed Mandarin & Sandalwood Body Wash.

Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Pears Original Transparent Bar Soap.
Brush: Omega S10065.
Bowl Lather.
Bowl: Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl.
Lather: Derby Shaving Soap bowl.
Blade: Treet 7 Days Platinum. (D2)
Razor: Weishi 2.0 Adjustable. (Settings) wtg 5, atg + pick-ups 6.

Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. /Brut Original ASL+ Splash-On Lotion. /Cien Sensitive ASB.

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

Everything in my shave set up this morning paired together wonderfully.

The scent of both Derby & Arko soaps is something i personally don't mind to my sense of smell it's just a 'clean pleasant soap/lemon citrus scent' which like the vast majority of shaving soaps with a few rules to the exception that I've used the scent vanishes after I have done my cold-water face rinse.

The Weishi 2.0 Adjustable/ T7DP was another smooth efficient combo...The Weishi Adj performance on the higher settings give a superb efficient comfortable shave.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick-ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay Safe and enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.

Only had the Yaqi a couple of weeks, but its definitely worth the few pennies I paid for a "defect" handle.

Broke out the one blade as needed just a quick shave and it didn't fail in its mission. DFS easily.
