Sunday SOTD, September, 2024

Razor : Yaqi SE Excalibur AC type with a Yaqi Milano 316SSP handle. Mfg 2021>, mild to tame mid range. Simple clamping system + small head parts make great for a nimble shave. Have been using this razor for a few years now and it performs good enough for my shaving needs. It seems to work well (riding the cap) but works riding the bar also if a person needs to know.
Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Schick proline AC 50mm type(6) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock Lavender, nice scented soap with excellent lather qualities!(obsolete now)
Brush : Yaqi "Sagrada Familia" 22mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Great small handled brush with a excellent knot IMO.
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 :Razorock King Louis lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 9.5.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Schick proline blade,

Solid showing today from the Dorco Prime/Tech pairing. Mostly quite smooth and forgiving with seemingly the right amount of sharpness in the blade, DFS easily. No cuts or nicks makes for a good Sunday in my book. Also was able to pull one of my best lathers from the Palmolive cream today (seems to like when you add your water a bit at a time). Happy Sunday folks!
 
I was interested to try the Gillette Pure shaving cream, I picked this up in a discount shop for $3.50 Aus.
The cream has almost no scent, very light floral. I didn’t need much however this cream does need a decent amount of water to create volume, and a couple of minutes whip in the bowl to create a full dense rich lather.
Cheers for the tip off, I've been curious about this cream too (but not enough to buy it for $7-10), I had a hunch about the store you where talking about, so I popped into a Reject Shop today and lo-and-behold...
