DE SOTD, Thursday, July 21st 2022

Razor : Yaqi Tile stainless steel head- Excellent mild to tame mid range, head is made of 316 stainless steel, it roams over the face fairly safely because of minimal blade exposure, GSB blade works well with this razor IMO. Good for a Newbie or seasoned shaver who likes to relax more while shaving. I get good results with razor mostly, good design & reminds me of the Henson razor design.
Blade : Gillette Silver blue(1) excellent, sharp & Smoooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock Lavender, nice scent with excellent lather qualities. (Discontinued):scared::sad:
Brush : Yaqi mountain lake 24mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, excellent scrubber + great lather painter.
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 with witch hazel+ a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: excellent shave with my Yaqi Tile razor with a new GSB blade.:001_wub:

My first dance with Phoenix Artisan Accouterments...

Brush: Vikings Blade White Knight (synthetic)
Soap: P.A.A. - Sacre Bleu
Blade: Gillette Nacet Stainless
Razor: Blackland Era (level 5 open-comb)
Aftershave: P.A.A. - Sacre Bleu

The Era, Nacet combo comes through for the win again. This highly reliable combo always provides me a BBS shave.

The P.A.A. soap was impressive. This Sacre Bleu is an homage to Aqua Velva and comes across beautifully. If you like Aqua Velva, you'll love this soap and aftershave combo. It's very easy to build lather. It applies well and provides a very good layer of protection with cushion and glide. I very much recommend P.A.A. soaps and will be using some for years to come.

I included in the picture my vintage N.O.S. bottle of original Aqua Velva.

Happy shaves gents ;)

Just excellent the lather from this soap with a nice scent and cooling sensation.
My 1st DE razor paired with this awesome blade translates to an enjoyable shave. Super smooth and easy in 3passes for a dfs+ finish. The matching aftershave is just fantastic too...
