@george and BST I am trialing a new mixing bowl, Its nice and holds the heat well, as it is smaller than the Giles I am used to I will have to reduce the size of my circular motion as I am hitting the sides of the bowl, it wont take long to sort.
The CRS performed well with the Yaqi and I had plenty of nice slick lather, the shape of the bowl help keep the soap to the bottom of the bowl and in the mixing deep end, easy.
3 Passes & no issues, The Timor blade still performing well, I will keep going with it, the XTG and ATG gave some audio, although, it is not tugging or pulling at all, giving a comfortable shave.
Nothing from the Block and my skin feeling nice and supple after the Bart's Balm was applied, I decided to finish off with a splash of Proraso Red Aftershave.
BBS and smelling very nice.
Have a great evening All.
