SE Sunday, May 26th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm with a Yaqi Milano 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Small head parts makes using a wash cloth to assemble a little easier. This is a affordable entry razor head to try AC type blades IMO. I usually get decent shaves with this razor. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Schick proline (5) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, very nice scent of Lavender + uplifting with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Viper" 24mm boar bristle brush. Excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice splay 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 cologne aftershave + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm with a Schick proline blade.

Have some great shaves!

May 26, 2024 Sunday shave

Razor: Karve Overlander, brass
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (2)
Soap: Barrister and Mann Le Grand Chypre
Brush: Paladin Tut STF (2)
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Post shave: Barbero alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

It was a three pass shave of two days growth. Using the best of the best, all the players in the shave were terrific, yeilding a perfect shave. No weepers, etc. and no irritation. The Tut/STF brush is a wonderful brush, one I truly enjoy using. It is an "unknown gem".

Have a great weekend!

Sunday 26th of May 2024: the SOTD that happened yesterday

1930's Laurel Vest Pocket open comb
BIC Chrome Platinum (2)
TOBS Royal Forest shaving cream
Proraso Green AS
Old synthetic Wilkinson brush

A couple of days ago, I used a BIC blade for the very first time. I used the Gillette Tech. Initially I thought it was a great shave, but I did end up with some irritation. So it would be logical to use an even milder razor the next time, wouldn't it?

So it's only natural that I put the blade in my old Laurel Vest Pocket open comb razor. The original handle is very short, so for a bit more control I use the ball-end handle of the Tech. I often compare the Laurel to a grumpy old granddad; you can have a great time with him but don't aggrevate him or he will start to grumble!

The same applies to the Laurel. A nice razor which is able to give a great and comfortable shave but don't mess up the angle or it will bite!

The result was similar to the shave with the Tech: BBS but with some irritation.
