Brush - Yaqi 26mm synthetic
Razor - Yaqi DOC
Blade - Voskhod (2)
Soap - T&H 1806
ASB - Proraso Blue
Bowl - Giles Shaving Co.

Not a comfortable end result today. I couldn't seem to get the consistency of the lather right. I love the smell of the 1805 but it just doesn't seem to work for my skin.

Happy birthday to all the birthday boys!

Really glad you like it.
 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rooney 1/3 Super Silvertip Badger
Soap: APR Winterfell
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: NOS Personna Super Platinum Chrome (1)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: APR Ozymandias EdP

Probably my best shave of the year so far. Five days of stubble was mowed down with ruthless efficiency by the Blackbird/Vintage Personna combo. And oh so comfortable.
Whilst I don't have too much luck with aggressive razors, the Blackbird suits my face perfectly, allowing DFS+ shaves with two passes, and BBS with a third.
All helped along by the excellent Australian Private Reserve soap. As advised by the maker, the V2 soap base is significantly thirstier than the first variant, and once you have found the sweet spot, it offers superb performance. The Winterfell scent was a nice match for the cooler autumn weather that has arrived in Perth for Easter, and also worked well with the Ozymandias EdP.

Soap - Proraso Green
Brush - Yaqi Plissoft Barbershop
Razor - Yaqi Cobbed Head
Blade - Sputnik
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - RSC
AS - Benjamin's Bay Rum

Today I really couldn't be arsed to shave but felt like I should. In the mirror I seemed to look more of a hobo than usual so it was probably needed. A bit of cold water, a comb and a razor can sometimes work a bit of magic.

I hadn't used my Yaqi Plissoft brush in ages, really superb brush. I think it has a sweet spot for a synth for having enough of a backbone with the glue bump is just significant enough so the brush isn't floppy, which my Yaqi Fan Tux really is.
