Slightly more blade feel than I'm used to this morning from this combination but a wonderful shave nonetheless. I love the Bay Rum scent and got a wonderful lather from it as well. Great stuff.

Great description. My unsophisticated sense of smell would have said it smells great!

Thank you. I agree with your description as well!!!

DE SOTD, Thursday, December 12th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Flipside dual comb(scalloped bar and open comb Safety bar) with a Yaqi aluminum hexedral ornament handle. Mfg 2019>, tame mid to mid range. Well made with no blade tab overhang, basically a adjustable razor with no need to stop and adjust. Comb side is slightly less aggressive than the scalloped side + a bargain affordable priced razor IMO.
Blade : GSB(2) sharp and smooth.
Soap : Yaqi The Green, very enjoyable addictive scented fresh forest fragrance + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Dandelion" 24mm cashmere synthetic knot. Great all around luxury soft knot & nice handle 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 : Yaqi "The Green" splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Yaqi Flipside razor with a GSB blade.

Have some great shaves!

Well today used my Pre War II Vintage Fat Handle Tech, I purchased from a Badge & Badger Member on BST Sub-forum, with a London Bridge Super Stainless Blade. Day Six usage of Blade.

Used Creamo Classic today wahoo, the is very slippery, got good results, but it don’t make lather well.

Shave was better than good this was Sixth Day use of the London Bridge Super Stainless Blade. Think I will get another Shave out of this Blade, maybe TWO MORE?

This Old Fat Handle Tech Razor in my world does a great job for a 70+ year Old Razor, got an 9.3 Rating Today. How could this be, can’t say, but Razor worked well? Mr. Gillette made good stuff, that work, still works, and lasted 70 + years.

Preshave: Proraso Blue
Soap: Proraso White
Razor: Henson AL13+
Blade: Gillette Black Ninja (1)
Postshave: Dickinson's WH
Aftershave: Proraso Green

Trying to get a baseline on blades that I have been told are both sharp and smooth. After great results with the Nacet yesterday, the Black Ninjas produced an equally great BBS shave!! 10 out of 10 for me.
