SOTN (Head & Face)
Face - Yaqi Sentinel, GN Musashi (soap & splash), Rapira Platinum Lux blade
Head - Leaf razor, Mitchell's Wool Fat, Treet Platinum saloon blades
AP Shave Co 26mm Silksmoke fan flat top
Permafrost synthetic coolant
La Roche Posay B5 Balm
Superb shave this evening. The Yaqi Sentinel head continues to impress, I was told by the seller it was one of the early heads they released and he believed it to be the 1.35mm but it seems from what I've read the first run were all 1.5mm, my rough/amateur attempts to eyeball a measurement also appear more in that ballpark - I'm genuinely loving this thing though.
First use if any GN set this evening too, top quality gear no doubt about that, I'm also digging the scent (as is the other half) so I'm thinking we'll get along just fine ...

SOTD 16-Jul
Brush: C&H 'Manga'
Soap: A&E Barbiere Classico
Razor: Koraat 6/8
Post: A&E Barbiere Classico AS & EDP
Ah blessed relief after what was an atrocious shave yesterday. The one shining positive was that it was like I hadn't shaved for two days, so plenty to take down, and the Koraat did it in short order. Great razor and cracking scent.
Today's challenge was meme day and had to come up with a shaving related meme of some form. Though the abbreviation has its place and certainly is valid, it still makes me chuckle. I won't make a living as a meme creator...
Hope everyone has had a grand weekend.
Cheers
Marc

Two reports in one day? What is the shaving world coming to? Indeed, it is true and without any further words I welcome you all to my shave for this evening which portrayed itself in the theme, 'Swirling shaves and Swirling soapy stories'
I lied. Quite a few words really.
Swirling razor - Razorock Hawk V3
Swirling sharp thing - Feather Professional
Swirling brush - Yaqi Dandelion
Swirling soap - York Swirling Soapery Arabian Dreams
Swirling balm - Baylis and Harding Black pepper and Ginseng
Bring on the Swirling ladies
'The washing machine dance. Created 22nd January 1958 by Mr and Mrs Indesit. Ended 23rd January 1958 by popular demand'
Going to cut things short here tonight and simply say 'A smashing smooth shave all the way'
And just remember, use a quick wash and save energy. My theory behind sex as well. Why use all that energy when you could have more sleep?
Have a good evening people
God knows who these are but they are Japanese and they are a band, of a form. Ah, Be the Gal. Death metal meets formation street dance. Sounds a typical Japanese musical recipe to me. Enjoy.....if you can find something to enjoy......
And of course, I love you all

Rockwell 6S (4) :: Wizamet blade (3) :: Semogue SOC boar brush :: DG Confluence soap :: P&B Albion splash
After the experiments with new hardware, this was just the comfortable smooth shave that I needed. 6S seems to be rather reliable in this way.
