Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The Yintal 9306-I. TTO (super-speed clone) is an incredibly good razor has a nice heft to it, and like my other Chinese super-speed clone the Baili BD177 Rose Gold TTO, has provided me with comfortable acceptable irritation-free shaves with each outing. What more can I ask for.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Wilko Men's ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Head and face shave after a shower, both nice and smooth and no irritation or weepers. I’ll get one more shave out of this blade, noticed that I’m into my last box of these blades will have to order more from Connaught’s.
 
What argon oil do you use I fancy giving this a try for my dry scalp.

A very pleasant Sunday shave. The large Cadman brush produced a lush lather with the Wickham soap and the EJ a comfortable and competent (rather than close) two passes to leave me respectably shaved.
 
Razor - Rockwell 6S R3
Blade - Gillette Sharp Edge
Brush - Simpson Captain
Soap - TOBS cream

I’ve hit the jackpot with the razor/blade combination. Great two pass shave with minimal touch-ups. I must say that I was very careful with technique… virtually no pressure at all, mostly just the weight of the razor.

TOBS cream was excellent. Do I prefer TOBS or Trumpers cream? Who cares? Use both!

Mrs Wiffwaff: Something smells nice.
Mr Wiffwaff: It’s me! It’s me!

Happy Sunday, everyone.

Pre - Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar
Brush - Simpson Chubby 2 LE Faux Tortoise Synth
Soap - Arran soap Co. Machrie
Razor - 6/8 Goedecke & Co Mandarin "unrivalled extra hollow ground"
Edge - Tony'schin
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Arran soap Co. Machrie
A/S - Arran soap Co. Machrie

A very nice bit of sink time this morning.
The LE Simpson Synth has a lot of backbone which is great for picking up soap from a hard soap. It splays well enough for a face lather and produced more than enough for my 2 pass shave.
The edge felt smooth enough, although i could have done with a bit more face prep to soften the stubble more.
Enjoy your day all.

My Artisinal April Shave today consisted of...
Prep Proraso preshave balm.
Brush Yaqi Bali synthetic.
Soap Stirling Black Ice.
Razor Merkur Progress.
Blade Silver Star (2)
Bowl Captains choice Obsidian Copper.
Menthol additive Stirling Menthol drops.
Aftershave Stirling Black Ice splash.

Today I warmed up the Black Ice and gave it a good stir to mix up the Menthol, I did let it cool right down and set again before using.
I lathered it up.in the Bowl so I could add the Menthol drops if I thought it still wasn't to my liking and it wasn't. I am not sure why so many people say it's super strong when I would give it a 3 out of 10 and my Master soap creations a solid 9 it's eye watering.
The lather was cooling and nice and slick and the Silver Star blade once again provided a lovely smooth shave in the Progress, I used to only use that razor all the time but sadly it only gets used once in a blue moon.
A cracking razor but I do have a lot better in my Den now.
A great shave complete and a happy chappie all that's left is to say enjoy the day everyone.
