Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Nivea Shave Cream
Jayaruh #476
Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea After Shave Balm

The Nivea Shave Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #476 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fat Handle Tech razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Nivea After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor: Ever Ready Lather Catcher
Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (4)
Brush : WCS Two Tone w/Omega 10049 boar knot
Soap and AS: Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep

It's been warm enough here in Colorado the last couple of days that a Glacial shave was needed to cool things down a bit. The shave with the 1908 lather catcher was superb. This razor can easily match the most aggressive DE's that I've ever tried, in both efficiency and blade feel.

Have a great day!

Just received this Yaqi razor and brush yesterday. Last night was my first time using them and I really enjoyed it.
The Yaqi Ghost titanium is an ideal weight for me. I have aluminum and stainless razors but titanium feels like the sweet spot. There was no blade feel and perhaps a “hair” too mild but it worked well on 3 days of growth. I used a Nacet (4) and Zingari for the first pass WTG but I felt a little tugging so I switched to Accutec (1) and Bigelow soap for my second pass XTG/ATG and it was super smooth. My first impression was very good.
BBS- face DFS neck. Overall good 5/5 ⭐️ for me:
