Another 2 shaves using the feather blade in the trusty Tech.
I've used the Yaqi mysterious space badger with both a soap and a cream and think it really needs much more 'loading' when face lathering. There's so much left in the brush that doesn't really transfer to the face. I think it will be used when I feel like a bowl lather, as I can generate enough to have plenty left in the bowl using it.
Anyhow, change of razor and blade for the next few days.
Onwards and upwards folks.

How many times have you used your Yaqi badger Gary? They normally 'free up' after ~10 uses and hold on to less lather. Hopefully yours will be similar.

SOTD: 23/11/2021

Razor: Hone 15a
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless , 1st use
Brush: AkkaWoodnResin Synthetic
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Menthol Soap
Soap: Stirling Strawberry Lemonade Puck
Aftershave: Jean Paul Gautier Le Male EDT
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm
Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block

Another smooth and simple shave from the Hone 15a, tackled my stubble with ease with the feather attached. The Stirling lathered like a charm as always but this is the first of their scents that hasn’t been a outright hit for me.
That said it’s still a fabulous shave, have a great day.

Oh dear. That was a wonderful, close and comfortable shave, and the standard that my other razors will need to achieve, if they are to stay. It is going to be a high bar to reach and the Game Changer is the first failure.

I've had a really nice rose attar on today which has lasted the whole day and by evening was simply emitting a really pleasant green stem rose providing the perfect setup for a shave with Wickham's English Rose soap.

Not as glorious a razor/blade combination as I'd hoped, what with a recent shave with the Merkur 37C and the Personna Comfort Coated stainless giving me practically a 10/10 shave, but with the blade now worn in on its first shave I hope tomorrow will be just that.

Today's lather from this soap was just amazing! Super rich, ultra-creamy, and very slick...with a nice leathery scent to boot...
The razor paired with this blade was very smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs/dfs finish but somehow a few micro creepers materialized. Aftershaves were excellent!

Ah the wonderful Clog Pruf, still so grateful for having received this. Absolutely cracking shave this morning, smooth finish in combination with the Hygge pairing and zero irritation, excellent!

Hope everyone has a cracking day!
