Lacking in a photo again.......
Pre: Cold water splash
Soap: Wickhams 1912 Irish Fern sample
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm synthetic
Razor: EJ89 top plate, Yaqi OC bottom plate, Bulldog handle
Blade: Nacet (1)
Post: Cold water rinse, Thayers unscented Witch Hazel
AS: Fine Platinum
Experimented with the razor set-up today after coming to the conclusion that I cannot use the Yaqi DOC ever day.... good for a few days growth, but not a daily driver as too much irritation. So went for a hybrid combo of the EJ89 top plate, and the OC bottom part from the Yaqi. Seemed to work very nicely, no irritation and didn't feel aggressive at all. 3 passes for a nice smooth shave.... although not BBS. Even went ATG on the neck! I think I have found that the Lab blue blade is not particularly well suited to my skin. Changed back to the trusty Nacet, and I think at the mo is my no.1 blade of choice.
