Today I luckily had another splendid shave. Yesterday I struggled a bit with the Personna injector blade on it's 1st shave, today everything worked out beautifully again. I am getting the hang of the Speick soap from the bowl too, where I first thought I liked the stick better. Great stuff. And the AS is just great, skin really absorbs it quickly and feels great.

Razor : Yaqi "Tile" with a Yaqi handle- Mfg 2021>, great tame mild to tame mid range, similar to the Henson razors, made from 316 SS and has a built in angle for mostly carefree shaving. Machining and finish QC adequate for my shaving needs. I use a Kai SS Extra wide in this razor for a little more blade feel. Blade : Kai SS extra wide(2) sharp & smooth with excellent longevity, the blade is wider by 9/1000 of a inch giving a slight boost in blade feel in those razors that need a little boost for your preference for blade feel. Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities. Brush : Yaqi "artic sky" 24mm silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Nice ergonomic handle + great knot. 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 blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless). Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my Yaqi Tile razor with a Kai SS extra wide blade.
After returning home from a ski holiday, it was an absolute pleasure to be in my own bathroom again, and using some other stuff as the rest of the week. The Speick Soap, AS en FS brush are awesome!

Lovely Speick combination, very refreshing and soothing. I have also started using the Speick bar soap, feels and smells very good too. You could say I am quickly becoming a Speick fan!
