Sun 4th SR SOTD
Soap B&M Full Measure of Man
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor ZY430 1st Use after Jnat honed
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + B&M TFMOM Balm
The soap scent is...stout and aromatic! Lather quality is very good...rich, creamy, and slick!
This is the 1st SR that I bought but never shave-ready with my poor skills. This time, however...WOW! To feel hear & feel again, that soft whispering buttery smoothness on the edge...felt sharp but not bitey...incredible feeling!! I am still hesitant with too short a stroke, especially the atg stroke...
Sometimes if I let it flow and stroke longer...can feel the edge cuts smoother and better. Still learning and improving with each SR shave...truly enjoying the journey now...! No nicks, no weepers nor irritation for a dfs to ccs finish! Aftershaves were awesome!

Soap Arko Stick
Brush Yaqi 28mm Tuxedo
Razor Dorko Solingen 7/8 Near Wedge
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + Old Spice Original
The ever-reliable soap! Nice pleasant scent, creamy and slick lather perfect for SR...
Should have been a GEM Monday but ever since my straight razors are honed up...I am like a kid just learning how to cycle...can't get enough...hahaha
The shave with this Dorko was uneventful and managed to get 3passes for a ccs to sas result without any issues within 30mins (morning workday rush). Hmmm...strangely, somehow I prefer that ZY430 yesterday...hahaha!

Soap RazoRock Mudder Focker
Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Tuxedo
Razor Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn 77
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Alum + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + TGS Abysso
Super nice soap. Really love this unique scent plus the lather is creamy and slick too.
Shave with the razor was enjoyable but still unable to achieve good efficiency. 3passes for a sas result and just a tiny red dot.
Seems like requires more practice or is it the edge?

Soap Wholly Kaw Pompelmo
Brush Zenith 28mm Scrubby B14 Boar
Razor Henkels & Friodur 472
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
Really good quality soap. The scent is mildly pleasant but the lather is nicely creamy and good slickness!
This shave with the razor...the edge felt more comfortable compared to the previous 2. I can feel it's sharp but yet...not harsh, just very comfy. This shave I learn to stroke longer rather than short especially atg under the jawline and neck. The result was smoother cutting rather than skippy...very nice. Managed 3passes without issues for better than yesterday's results but still mostly sas and some areas ccs. Perhaps the edge is not sharp enough? My skills? Really interesting questions.
This Reuzel AS is one of my best...very soothing and smells great!

Soap B&M Seville 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor ZY430 2nd use
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + Cella Milano Splash
Very nice rich, creamy and slick lather from the soap. The scent is good too...perhaps just a tad below medium.
Shave with this razor in 3passes was quite enjoyable & without issues. Smooth, comfortable, and easy. Somehow, this razor feels better & yielded the best result between the other 3 SR in my rotation now...hmmm
