Greetings,

Another early start for me today but,a very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups DFS with no errors to report.

The Ming Shi 2000s at this present moment in time is my number 1 d.e. razor, every shave i've had since it was passed on to me by a work pal, has been consistantly good, today was no exception.

I now have a spare one in my shaving den, which i ordered from Ali-express...i may even order another next year.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Alcolado Glacial Splash, which made my face senses liven up very quickly with it's menthol kick.:cool:

My Face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling mentholated devine.;)

Enjoy your Day, ladies & gentlemen.:)

6C #5
Voskhod #1
Yaqi 26mm
Wholly Kaw

Was going to shave yesterday but decided against it, and glad I did as I more than made up for it today. Lovely, almost foolproof, pairing with the Voskhod and Rockwell. First outing of this gloriously sparkly, cosmic Yaqi brush. A great brush it is, too, with enough loft to reduce the synthetic springiness a bit. I did enjoy using it tonight, I must be honest! Nice, hefty handle too and made short work of the King of Oud, producing a sheeny, slick lather. 2 passes and I'm very smooth. Happy Ben!

Who's next, chaps?! :D
cool brush ben got mine yesterday its great just as good as the others I have nice and soft tips :)
 
Greetings All,

Tuesday shave.

One growth and warm shave

Preparation – showered then face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Pre: None
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Roackwell 6C (4P)
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (1st)
Brush: Razorock 400 (face lather)

Post Shave: Hot then cold water rinse, alum, re-rinse then Nivea 2 Phase, Tabac AS and to conclude Nivea Cooling Balm.

3 passes with incident due to being an idiot. I don't know why I do not learn, several weepers chasing the BBS when I did not need too (especially when doing my weekly razor / blade change) – Foolish folly. All cleared with Alum and thankfully little irritation.

Cheers,


Brian

Great shave today!
I decided to try something different.
After I finished the last pass I massaged almond oil into my face then re lathered and let it soak in for a few minutes. I then followed my post shave routine and the result was like I didn't shave at all!
Very smooth, no irritation. Of course MWF gives a great post shave but that little extra step only enhanced it.
Have a great day gents. Shave on!
