Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Furbo and their excellent "Vintage Blu" shave soap. Great classic Floid Blue scent and fantastic lather built with the Paladin "PK-47" 2-band select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Red Tip and I finished with RazoRock "Blue Barbershop" aftershave splash.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Skipped yesterday so today's shave was extra nice! Returned to Taylor of Old Bond Street and their excellent "Lime Zest" shave cream. Great scent and fantastic lather built with the Paladin "Chief" 2-band select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Red Tip and I finished with the matching vintage Shulton "Old Spice" ASL & EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Razor Yaqi Avanti
Blade Razolution
Brush Yaqi Hongcha
Soap The Goodfellas Smile Inferno
First use of the Avanti on settings 2,3&5 and it’s a mild to medium shave that is really smooth. On setting 5 it has some blade feel. The handle is a little slippery and had me reaching for alumn just to make sure I didn’t drop it. I got very smooth without a lot of effort.
