SE SOTD, Friday, June 9th 2023

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur 50mm AC type with a Yaqi Milano 316 polished handle- Mfg 2021>, tame mid range, simple clamping system, small head parts(I work over a wash cloth) + affordable. One of my best razors for shaving, very nimble to work the beard. I get great results 95%> of the time just like this morning with wonderful close comfortable shave.
Blade : Schick Proline (2) sharp & smoooth with reasonable longevity for a AC blade. Good pairing with the Yaqi Excalibur.
Soap : Razorock Irish Countryside, nice unique scent with excellent lather qualities. The more I use it the more enjoy it seems.
Brush : Yaqi "Rainbow" 26mm brown whiskers synthetic, excellent lather generator, Luxury cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. The handle and knot are perfect 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 : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=Excellent stellar close shave with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Perm-sharp blade.

Have some great shaves!

Razor: 1939 Gillette NEW RFB GT
Blade: Gillette 7o'clock Black (5)
ASL: Clubman Classic Vanilla

A superb shave.

Well, my 1939 Gillette NEW RFB easily remains at the Number One spot on the OC Podium, fabulous!

Mind you, the Yaqi SS Mellon is no slouch (and its SHINE is THE BEST). I think I'll shave with all my favorite OCs now, to know exactly which ones get on the podium (and where the others place). The things we do for science.


Happy shaves guys.

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....I have returned to the Lord Silver Star Super Stainless which are my personal favourite from the Lord factory and have paired together well with my 50's vintage Ball End tech & the Baili BD 191 wonderfully feeling smooth and efficient.

First outing of the Goodfellas' Smile Abysso Shaving Soap & matching ASL which are both excellent. The slickness and post shave feel from the soap is superb.

The Abysso soap fragrance of the is a great clone of the Davidoff Cool Water which is one of my all time favourite scents.

Another close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

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