Cream Saponificio Bignoli Black Berry & Moss
Brush Yaqi 24mm Purple Mink
Razor GEM Clog Pruf
Blade GEM Stainless 11th use
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Musk
Pleasant mild scent and good quality lather from the cream.
Shave with razor paired with the well-used blade was still good even for atg on chin and lips area. Smooth, comfortable, and still sharpish for 3passes for a DFS result with a minor creeper. Rating 9.5/10

Brush: TF Customs Blue & Gold 30mm Tuxedo
Razor: Charcoal Goods SB Zamac + RR Bamboo Handle
Blade: Wizamet S.I (1)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Cella Green
Post: RR New York A/S Splash // The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30 ml
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS+
Such a smooth and comfortable shave and although a clone of the EJ/DE89 this head signs just like the modern CG design. A real delight but how long will the regrowth last is the question...?
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

- First Canadian Shave: Barbershop
(Soap/Splash/EdP)
- Yaqi: Giotti synthetic
- Shears Direct folding razor, w/Schick proline.
Plucked up the courage to do my first live shave for a local group. It feels strange trying to engage with (seemingly)....no one
but I had a good time.
As for the shave: this is my 3rd use with this, recently acquired, razor, and it's definitely making a strong case for my favorite out of the 5 Shavettes that I use regularly.
It doesn't have the 'SS' type safety lip like my others, which allows for a slightly wider range for the angling. It's a great aspect to have, for those areas that benefit from an almost 'flush to the skin' approach.
You can't beat $20 USD either.....free shipping.....optional engraving at no additional cost.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.
Great shave this morning. Migrated back to the Rockwell Model T. Love that razor! Popped in a fresh Polsilver Super Iridium and the whiskers practically lept from my face on their own! Finished with a splash of Lucky Tiger and a spray of Drakkar Noir. Haven't worn this stuff since the 80's. My wife loves it!
Hope you have a great day!

Rooney Stubby 2 Porcelain Finest (24/50)
Harrods by Floris (tallow) shaving soap + Moroccan Rose Absolute/Hydrosol
LASSC BBS-1
Wilkinson London Bridge (14)
Penhaligon's Racquets Formula aftershave (vintage)
Another great one, accompanied by a piano rag by Scott Joplin. The absolute solution really revived the old soap.
