When I was young and went shopping with my mother on the Leyweg in The Haque.

There was a candy store called 'Jamin" with next to the entrance a window with a soft ice cream machine.

Just big/long enough to throw Fifty florins cents in myself, and you got the most delicious ice cream you could imagine, then!

Looking at today's lather takes me back to those moments, gives me that taste again and makes me just wanna take a bite ....

Perhaps that's why I so do like nice, thick, creamy lather .....

Gillette Nacet blade in the Flexi witch gave me a equal nice smooth shave as the Astra Blue yesterday.


Ready for a coffee

Have a nice day everyone.

Razor: Rex Ambassador (Set @ 1.5)
Blade: Gillette Rubie
Brush: Chisel & Hound Patina / AP Shave Co. G5A/SHD
Pre: King C. Gillette Beard & Face Wash
Lather: Noble Otter BarrBarr
Post: Bull Dog Sensitive ASB
Fragrance: Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme



The Ambassador is a pussycat on 1.5, my optimum setting with the Rubie smoothing it out even more.
Noble Otter is one of my favourite soap brands, top lather every time with no hassle.

Preshave:
Hot water rinse
Brush: Yaqi Bluish Violet 24mm Synthetic
Razor: British Gillette Rocket HD
Blade: Astra SP (12)
Soap/Cream: MWF
Aftershave Balm: Harvard Vetiver
Aftershave: M&S Woodspice Burgundy

MWF doesn't always lather consistently if I'm honest, possibly not helped by the hard water in this area, but today's lather was spot on. Two days' growth were effortlessly swept off to deliver a wonderfully smooth BBS+, 9.5/10 finish.

I'm buffed & chuffed.

Regards,
Chris

I think that the Yaqi 3 is no better than the V2, the Razor Head is perhaps not wide enough and on my one it is easy to get blade overhang. Also it is easy not to align the blade securely as IMHO the blade pegs are too shallow. However get the blade aligned OK and one can get a decent Shave.
