  • First time using this razor. The shave started off excellently. I am not sure what happened, but I cut myself bad enough that I had to stop after my first pass for a styptic treatment. In a case like this, I usually know what I did wrong, but not today. Perhaps I caught a blemish. Anyway, the razor was performing excellently, but evidently I was not.....
  • Sorry that I have been too busy the last couple of weeks to post many pictures

Thu 25th SOTD
Soap Phoenix & Beau Spitfire
Brush Yaqi 26mm Mysterious Space Tuxedo
Razor Fatip OC Slant on Yaqi Handle
Blade KAI 3rd (Mysterious KAI Blades PIF Participation)
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Gatsby Splash
Excellent soap! Nice leathery tobacco scent and creamy slick lather! Love this (5.5/10 strength) masculine scent!
FOCS razor on the Yaqi handle feels better and paired with the blade gives a fantastic shave!! Crisply smooth and so comfortable for 3passes for a mostly bbs result. Good blade + good razor = Great combo! Rating 10/10!!

Gillette old type
Gillette minora pink wrapper (3)
AOS Sandalwood pre shave
AOS Oud shaving cream
Acne face wash then blackhead scrub
Cold rinse, alum block
Cold rinse, Proraso red aftershave

overall 9-10 DFS+ besides chin area, went a little light on the shaving cream and couldn’t do a sufficient touch up on that area. Still smooth as heck all around otherwise though. All good just a wee bit more for tomorrow haha. Really dig this Proraso red aftershave though!

I wish there were a Merkur 34C in stainless steel. Cheeks, jaws and neck are BBS an hour after the shave; Chin is very close to it.
Three passes WTG, XTG and ATG.

Most times I just don't try to go ATG on my chin. I just do another XTG or WTG. I struggled with the chin for years before I finally took a path of less resistance. I still occasionally do an ATG on the chin though.
