Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier, nice unique scent that is addictive with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm Tuxedo knot. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Short handle for folks who like that.
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 : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).

Tiny Tuesday Morning Shave

This could easily be a travel set up. Amazing shave from a 50 Year Old System. The blade used in the Bonded System was rumored to be the legendary Super Sword Edge from Wilkinson. This cartridge felt like an AC blade or an Injector. Heavy and secure on the face.

This is the second shave in a row using my Timeless SS SB .68 razor a Wizamet blade. The shave was close and smooth. The next brush in my rotation is a synthetic: Omega Hi. I find this to be an unusual brush for a synthetic: it has substantial backbone. The vintage Williams is on its 111th use. I donโ€™t see that many more shaves with it. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.
