Bright sun today. Almost feels like the weather's thinking about summer.

C V Heljestrand No.24 4/8 French point straight razor
Nom Theo wood handle boar brush
D R Harris Marlborough shave stick
1980s Imperial Leather "Classic" aftershave

The Heljestrand might be due a quick run over the stones, but I gave it a go on the seatbelt webbing / Silverline white strop after the shave and before the leather. It seems to be cutting nicely now, so it could be a "wait and see".

Good smell from D R Harris and fine work from the brush, though I'm still surprised how easy rubbing a shave stick on the face makes generating a substantial lather. An Eighties classic from the eighties called Classic for the aftershave.

Let's say a "9".

Comments	This was the second consecutive shave with my Henson AL I3 ++ and Feather blade. The shave was close and smooth. It seems that Feather blades work well in milder razors. Today I used a large synthetic brush: Maggards 28mm. This is a very soft and large brush. Because of its size, it makes plenty of lather. Unlike some of the smaller synthetic brushes, this one easily loads soap. The Haslinger tallow soap made excellent lather. This was the 21st consecutive day I used the soap. The shave was perfect. Have a wonderful day and week, folks.

This blade & razor combo is really excellent and the unique horse hair brush continues to impress. A fantastic shave finished off with a healthy glug of Proraso Green for the sensation and a little bit of Proraso Red for the scent

Brush: Perfecto Badger
Razor: 1953 Gillette Super Speed
Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (1)
Post shave: Gillette Gel
Rating: 9.5/10

Another wonderful Sunday morning shave with one of my vintage Gillettes, this one from my birth year and birth quarter, although I did nick myself ever-so-slightly. The butterfly had opened a bit which is probably my fault. I evidently didn't tighten it quite enough.
Other than that, a nice shave. The Ozark Mountain scent has become a favorite for me. I have no idea what mountains in the Ozarks smell like, but if they smell like this, count me in for a vacation there sometime.

Razor: Rigarazor
Hone: Coticule
Brush: Omega 11137 Ash Wood Boar
Cream: Cyril R. Salter Sublime Citrus
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

Great lather with my 11137 and CRS. I hadn’t used this brush in a bit and I have no idea why. Actually like most of us…because I need to add an addition to my home for a brush room.

The Rigarazor just swept away the shaving cream and whiskers. I could probably have stopped after the first pass, but I did an ATG clean up to enjoy the face lathering, shaving cream, and the feel of the steel.

A splash of Skin Bracer to seal the deal.

Nice shave…9.7/10.

Is that the new Outlaw? Or a different razor?

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm AC type with a Yaqi Milano 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Simple blade clamping system that works well + small head parts that make it nimble to wield on the beard area. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Schick proline(4) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity for a AC blade.
Soap : Razorock XXX, nice unique scent that usually puts a smile on my face + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Ever helpful" 22 mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, firm nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. If a person likes a nice scrub this brush is worth taking a look at IMO, Yaqi shortened the loft + has dense 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 XXX splash with witch hazel + 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 with a Schick proline blade.(forgot to sure the proline box)

Have some great shaves!

Rating: 9.6/10 Completely Acceptable

Great shave using the Century No. 3 Brush and Le Pere Lucien. The Durham Duplex Razor
although technically a DE, given the head and handle geometry, it can only be used as a
Single Edge. I tried to use the other side and it was like shaving backwards and upside down.
