Soap The Goodfellas Smile Italian Orange
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor Yaqi AC Brass
Blade Feather ProGuard 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + The Goodfellas Smile Orange Empire AS
Long ignored soap. One of my fav soap. The nice orangey scent, easy to lather, and beautifully creamy and slick too.
This razor with the blade continues to provide a silky smooth and comfortable shave. Another glass-like BBS result after 3passes. I am amazed at the ease and the efficiency especially at areas (adam apple) where other DE razors just can't reach.
The AS is new and matched perfectly with the soap. Very uplifting for the morning...another very good and enjoyable shave for the day!

Really took my time on building a lather with the MdC, Holy Moly, I have learnt I will need to take my time doing this with all my soaps and creams from now on, what a difference, a super dense, shiny, creamy lather makes :)
p.s. I have decided I do love a lather that leaves a residual slickness behind.

Have a Great Weekend All :)

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Pre: Proraso Green
Soap: Stirling Hispter
Brush: Shave Factory Bristle xs
Razor: Parker 22R Interceptor
Blade: Voskhod (1)
Post: Alum, Superdrug Sierran Breeze ASL, Nivea Balm

That was the shave my skin was crying out for after the 1912 learning curve of the last few days. The Stirling gave a protective, slick coating and Voskhod blade was just superb. I've got a few soap samples to experiment with over the next coupe of weeks, so falling back on a trusted blade is great preparation. I'm sure the Voskhod will be swapped out soon enough, but it's good to know there's a blade I can bank on if I need to. Have a good weekend everyone :)

Today's shave:
Razor: Rockwell 6S plate R4
Shaving prep: shower then Proraso pre shave sandlewood cream
Shaving Cream: Proraso Alo vera
Brush: Semogue HD badger
Razor Blade: Tatra
ASB Proraso ( nearly finshed )
EDP Jimmy Choo Urban Hero.( I'm not working today)
I didnt think the Tatra would be as good a blade as the Gillette Silver Blue but from the off it was smooth and really sharp. 3 pass and finish off under the chin and jaw line for a face feeler. Top notch. Have a great day everyone. Keep safe.
