- Prep: Hot washcloth
- Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm synth
- Razor: Rockwell 6S (R4)
- Blade: Crown SS
- Soap: Wholly Kaw Tempest
- Aftershave: Wholly Kaw Tempest
- Post Shave: Thayers Rose, Hyaluronic Acid and WK Tempest balm
First shave with a Lord Crown SS and it is another good Lord blade. Mild but smooth. Not the sharpest but a really good blade. tempest is an acquired taste for sure, but I like it. It is a super weird scent though.
I haven’t used the Yaqi in a while as I seem to have a new Simpson arriving weekly as of late but I’m glad I revisited it. You really can’t beat these for the price. Rock solid brush And it is easy to see why these are so popular. Soft bristles, holds a ton of lather, the handle looks killer and it never sheds a bristle. And well under $20. My Simpson M7 synth is better but not 4x better as it cost 4x as much.
9/10
