Wed 17th SOTD
Soap Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Yaqi AC Aluminum
Blade Feather ProGuard 8th
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + PAA Cavendish
Nice lather from the soap. The scent is lovely & aromatic but just abit below mild and remains consistent throughout the shave. The lather was really slick too...
Shave with fav razor paired with the well-used blade was just too silky smooth and comfortable for 3passes and finally gets a weeper for being greedy...over shaved the adam apple area. In general, mostly bbs but this time can feel are some leftovers. Perhaps it's time-up for the blade?? Will continue for another few shaves to see. The Cavendish AS is absolutely a chart-topper for me...so good, lasting too...my precious nectar!

SOTN 16th March
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Soap - Catie's Bubbles Midnight Dreary
Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable settings 5,6 then 7.
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue#4
Post - Boots Freshwood Twins

Smooth but very close 3 passes. I could definitely feel the blade on the final ATG pass, but the ascending settings seem to work for me on the Slim Adjustable.
Luxurious post shave from the Boots Freshwood
Take care people, enjoy your shaves.
And a Happy St Patricks Day

Should've paid more attention to @donnie_arko and his comments about dodgy blade gaps on these razors :cry: First pass was OK, second it was obvious that there was something not right, but I carried on until the inevitable big nick:rolleyes: Then, to compound my crappy shave, I caught my finger on the blade as I popped the cap off :sick: The gap was totally skew whiff, so I grabbed a plaster and finished the shave with the Parker (didn't want my half-shaved face to be as wonky as the razor!) I've now disassembled the Ming-Shi and aligned it to my satisfaction, and I will give it a run out at some point in the future. But for now it's back to working through the mound of stuff in the Newbie Box with a trusted driver. By the way, top tip for you - the pain caused by stupidly trying to close a proper open cut with a styptic pencil is (I imagine) akin to childbirth:eek:
