Brush - Yaqi 26mm Fan Tuxedo

Razor - Gillette Rocket
Blade - Supermax Vidyut Stainless (2)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Brut Original
This Yaqi brush is absolutely enormous and quite floppy, I prefer a little more shape and structure to the knot when I'm building a lather, but this Yaqi really is a beast for producing lather, produced a huge amount of lather from a small strip of Arko Hydrate. I absolutely love the shape of the knot though, it's a delight to paint on lather with, I will give it an extended run with some creams I often overlook.
This particular shaving cream might be one of my favourite smelling shaving soaps/creams I have own, a nice mild fougere scent like the Superdrug Forest Fresh after shave splash. It's a good performer as well, not a million miles from the Palmolive Cream, maybe a touch less slick though, but it's still fine though.
I'm a little ashamed to say I had really low expectations for the Supermax Vidyut Stainless blade but it's a very smooth blade in the shave, not the sharpest and in a mild razor like the Gillettes I have used so far, for close results an extra pass is needed, but it's a very enjoyable and comfortable one.
I finished the shave with a few splashes of Brut Original. Alongside Denim Original, it's becoming the two splashes I seem to reach for the most, they smell nice and feel great on the skin.
Have a good day gents, I hope the sun is out where you are, like it is here in London. It's been endlessly grey and damp for the last few days, nice to see the sky again, even if it is just for a few hours...
