March 16, 2024 Saturday shave

Razor: Yaqi Remus
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild (2)
Soap: Cella red
Brush: Yaqi 30mm monster synthetic
Post shave: Omega alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Fine Snake Bite

This was the second shave with the Yaqi Remus (matte version of the Romulus). It's mild, but delivers a very easy, close shave.
All the shave items produced a great shave. No weepers, etc. and no irritation.
I'm near the end of the latest chunk of Cella carved off a 1 kilo block that I keep in the freezer. The lather today was perfect.

Enjoy your day!

@Kix Did you try a sharper blade like a Schick Proline or Feather Pro Super in it yet? That should up the efficiency a notch or two if that's what you prefer lol. Either of those blades work great in the mild aluminum Razorock Hawk v2 for my head or face shaves.

The Captain Titan Mild is the only blade I've used, this is my first AC razor.
I've made note of your recommendations. Thanks for the info!

FFFMM (Fixed Four For March Madness) 2024 Edition
SV Saturday
Semogue Saturdays


Hello friends

Hot day and stuffy night. At these moments, my Brazilian friends and I would like to move to the North Pole. This seventh shave of FFFMM 2024 was pleasant and very efficient with my 3-day beard:

Greencult 2.0 plate II
Gillette Silver Blue (7)
SV Manna di Sicilia
Semogue SOC Mistura

To alleviate the inclement weather, I finished with the wonderful Skin Bracer, one of my favorite AS.

Accompanying me, a desert island album, Art Tatum and Ben Webster.

Rating: 10


Have a nice weekend and great shaves!

SOTD: 03/16/2024

Razor: Above The Tie SE1
Blade: Feather Pro Guard Artist Club, 1st use
Brush: Charles Roberts Shavemaster V200 Badger
Bowl: Naked Armor Silver Fox Scuttle Mug
Preshave: Jack Black Beard Lube Conditioning Shave Cream
Soap: Southern Witchcrafts Samhain Croap
Balm: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Ciderhouse 5 Star Jelly Gel

First time using a single edge razor. It seemed very efficient. One nick, but only needed two passes with minor touch up,

[Lil Cooties]

Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum (4th use)
Brush: Omega 10810
Cream: ARKO Hydrate
Aftershave: Proraso Green

DFS today. A bit of menthol cooling from the cream and aftershave was welcomed on a warm and stuffy day like today. I think the scent of the Proraso matches the Hydrate better than it matches it's own cream. Also, a bit of an accidentally green shave for St Patricks day.

​

Shaving Recipe for today.

Prep: Warm shower:/Bulldog Vetiver & Black Pepper Shower Gel.

Pre:
Cold wet flannel to my face.
Cien PURE Fragrance Free Sensitive Bar Soap.
Brush: Omega S10018.
Bowl Lather.
Bowl: Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.
Lather: Gillette Sensitive Original Scent Shave Foam.
Blade: Treet Classic. (D2)
Razor: Parker 24C.

Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With Care+Witch Hazel./P&G Old Spice Bearglove ASL Spray. /Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

Greetings,

It's been some time since I last used the Parker 24C. Out of all my parker DE razors the 24C took more than a fair few shaves for me to bond with it. However, once I adjusted to using a steeper angle, which parker razors require IMHO, it rewarded me with close efficient shaves...Some razors take a while before you bond with them, the 24C was the one for me.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
