Saturday Morning Experimental Excursion

Recently received a NOS Tuck of 10 Valet Blades, so why not use them. A Nice Smooth shave. Not exceptional BBS or anything but quite acceptable for a probably 70 year old blade. Definitely would have been an original feel to the shave.

This is an old photo (I haven’t taken any new shave photos for a long time). But, I felt like playing along with this so I’ll be sure to use this brush next!

DE SOTD, Saturday, December 16th 2023

Razor : Yaqi Zephier - Mfg 2022>, mild range. Interesting simple design that is well casted in Zamak and a decent chromed finish. This razor caught my eye & when it came up on a sale why not! It reminds me over a Gillette super speed razor with a exception smooth glide. I usually like using a Kai SS blade with this razor head but opted for a Perm-sharp blade. The razor is designed for speed and sensitive skin folks would be evaluation of it with a narrow angle sweet spot, Kai SS blade improves the angle sweet spot I recall. Had a comfortable DFS shave this morning.
Blade : Perma-sharp (3) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock XXX Fresco, nice clean unique similar to XXX scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Mysterious space" 24mm Timberwolf knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 Fresco 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 Zephier razor with a Gillette Perma-sharp blade.

Have some great shaves!

Soap: Phoenix Atomic Age Bay Rum
Razor: 1939 Gillette NEW RFB on custom olive wood handle
Blade: Suneko (2)
ASL: Chocolate Orange [home brew]

A superb shave.

For me, the Suneko blade has a different feel to it than any other blade I've used… not good or bad, just different. So far, I'm finding it just as good, if not better, than all my favorite blades. I'm certainly enjoying it, and looking forward to further shaves. It's definitely smooth and definitely sharp.


Happy shaves guys.
