Razor : Yaqi Top aggressive slant with a Yaqi Brass nickel coated handle. Mfg 2019>, aggressive range. Note NOT the best razor for a rookie until skill level has seasoned a little IMO. I like to use this razor every once in a while to test my technique and skill level. This razor (YTAS) when mastered gives some of the closest shaves you can possibly accomplish with a safety razor or straight razor has been my experiences because of lots of blade feel or blade exposure. I like to use a Steep approach(riding the bar) with a short handle for quicker response around the chin area and less leverage. I also use a blade shim under the primary blade for rigidity + Don't plunk this razor at start because it bites. Had a close comfortable Stellar shave this morning!
Blade : GSB (4) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock Irish countryside, nice unique scent (Creed Irish green inspired) with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Bali" 24mm 3band badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Man did this knot bloom for a dense packed knot, still a very nice brush to work the face.
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 Irish spring with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :
or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 2 small blemish weepers=
Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Top aggressive Slant with a GSB blade. Great shave but a few small blemishes got sheered off(small round weepers) other than that had a stellar shave.
Have some great shaves!

Razor: Gillette Super Speed 1953 Y2
Blade: Vi John Super Platinum (1)
Soap: Cella red
Brush: AP Shave Co. 24mm G5A
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Post shave: Omega alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Old Spice Original
Normally I shave every other day, but since I'm getting a haircut this afternoon, it seemed like a good idea to spiff up a bit.
It's been a while since a Super Speed was used, likewise using a Vi-John razor blade. The results were good, although accompanied by a little more alum feedback than usual.

SOTD - “Space/Futurist Week” September 2nd - 8th, 2024 Rex Any Day (RAD)
SV Saturday
Semogue Saturdays!
Hello friends
Beautiful Saturday. I took the opportunity to try out my new soap, SV Morado, with a splendid fragrance and a phenomenal post shave. With it, Pegasus Mistura produced an abundant and slick leather. I went back to Rex Ambassador @6/5/4 and the blade that, for me, goes best with it, Perma-Sharp (1). I finished with my favorite AS, Floïd The Genuine and complemented it with Davidoff Zino.
With us, the brilliant Ben Webster and Harry "Sweets" Edison.
What more could I want?
Rating: 10
Have a nice weekend and great shaves!
