Supply (•••) & B-20
YaQi Space Fan
Maca Root
Fantastic shave with this setup. Effortless and close hair removal from the Supply with no issue. This V2.0 is a cut above it’s predecessor, especially at its most aggressive setting. Angle is seemingly more intuitive and it gives far better feedback. Finished unnecessarily with the Maca Root Razor Relief. Good stuff all round!

Vig Shaving 28 Synth
La Toja Stick
Rocnel SE-P OC
½ Shark Stainless #1
Alum Wash
Duru Mandarin Cologne
Dove Instant Hydration Cream
A rare occasion for me using a stick to face lather. The La Toja did not disappoint giving a very effective lather with ease, resulting in a very efficient shave with my Rocnel.

Olive Oil Soap
Vitos Pre Shave Soap
P&B Imperial Rum Soap
Giles Shaving Co Bowl
Yaqi 24mm 2-Band Badger
Windrose CC Slant with a Permasharp Blade on a Windrose Handle
Alum Block and Rinse
Lacura Duo-Lift Moisturiser for Men
Benjamins Bay Rum with Pimento
After a rather challenging night at work...I wakened to find:
1) My new Yaqi Moka Express Badger Brush had NOT arrived.
2) A yellow weather warning in place in Wales for the weekend.
3) I had slept in....and missed an event at the Hay Festival.
A good shave did however come to the rescue. The Windrose slant is an aggressive beast....so 2 passes and a small touch up gave a lovely BBS shave
I will chill out for a time and then it is off to Hay to see the new Owen Sheers play 'Unicorns Almost'

Razor: Rocnel 'Sailor'
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (6)
Brush: M&F 'L7 Finest'
Soap & Splash: The Club 'Warrior of Howling Fjord'
My first shave with the Rocnel Sailor adjustable; word of caution, use a flat surface to load the blade or the top cap may shoot off like a torpedo or you'll cut your finger off, lol. I started at setting 3 of 5 for both passes and found it to be as aggressive as the Charcoal Goods Level 2 SB (maybe a tad bit more) with a little more blade feel. It was close in smoothness to the CG L2 as well. I enjoyed the shave and find the Sailor to be a fine razor both in appearance and performance.

Pre: Hot Shower
Soap: d’Ardenne Short & Bell No.8
Razor: Yaqi "The Beast” Aggressive Head on Yaqi Handle
Blade: Feather (2)
Brush: That Darn Rob Gold Digger
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel
A/S Lotion: d’Ardenne Short & Bell No.8
You like aggressive razors? Combing the bottom cap from the Yaqi and the top cap from their double open comb makes for one hell of an aggressive shave. R41 territory, but for me, still felt smoother than that razor and you can you feel that Feather blade. A few weepers but nothing the alum didn't fix.
The Gold Digger brush from That Darn Rob was superb as ever and the d'Ardenne Bell & Short soap from James Riley is great. Beautiful cologne scent and for a vegan soap, the performance was excellent. Have a great weekend.
