An excellent shave. :biggrin:

I like the new-to-me Osage Rub; it gives a nice icy blast and the minimal scent dies off in about 15 minutes. :001_cool:
(No prizes for spotting the error on the photo, but I will award a "Cheers" reaction. :wink2:)


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...

It's been quite some time since I added the Supply V2 to my razor rotation....The design of the Supply V2 injector razor is wonderful and like the vintage Schick injectors is solidly built to hold the blade firm & rigid in the razor head with no movement making the shaving experience feel safe comfortable, and smooth with no blade chatter they and very easy to adjust to finding the right shaving angle....As I have mentioned before in my posting I find injectors are such comfortable smooth efficient shavers especially for head shaving.

The heft & balance of the Supply V2 is excellent fitted with a fresh Personna Injector PTFE blade mowed through my face & head stubble with effortless ease.

Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Ard Al Zafran Dirham Oud EDP to the chest and pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine. ;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

Simple SOTD today:

Fatboy passaround on 9, with Wizamet blade (4)
Paladin brush
My Rwandan shave bowl (custom made with bumps for me)
End of a MDC Agrumes soap sample (scent long gone)

Enjoying the razor - even on 9 it is a pussycat! Probably haven’t fully dialed it in, as not as close as my other more aggressive razors, but has convinced me to retain my Redtip and work on dialing that in as a mildish vintage Gillette

This is my fifth and final excellent shave with the Merkur 37C and a Personna Lab blade. I can always count on this razor to give me a close smooth shave. Today’s brush is my Omega Evo synthetic brush. This is one nice brush and performs as well as it looks. The MdC soap is on its 217th use. I think I have more than 25 shaves left. A perfect shave: no nicks, weepers, or irritation. Have a great day and weekend, folks.

Slantember, Saturday, Sept 9th 2023

Razor : Yaqi "SLOPE" 316 SS torsion type slant, with a Yaqi brass coated handle.- Mfg 2023>, mild to tame mid range depending on blade used. This razor is well built with a unique design of a sloped safety bar that keeps the gap similar the whole width of blade or close enough for comfort shaving.
I find this slant razor very comfortable close shaving to use with excellent results using a Kai SS extra wide blade. Had a excellent shave this morning with no issues this morning.
Blade : Kai SS extra wide (1) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. Great blade to use for a slight increase in blade feel or blade exposure. I like to use this blade in my mild razors that I have accumulated over the years visiting antique stores and also new purchases.
Soap : Razorock Irish Countryside, nice unique clean scent (Irish Creed) with excellent lather qualities. The more you use it the more you enjoy it has been my experiences.
Brush : Yaqi "Viper" 24mm boar bristle brush, excellent lather generator, soft split end boar bristle hairs, great splay scrubber + great lather painter. Handle and knot work well for my shaving needs.
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 Irish Countryside with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2)3 template 9.5.1.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Excellent shave with my Yaqi 316 SS SLOPE slant with a Kai SS extra wide blade.
