Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; Simpson, M7 Butterscotch resin handle with a 22mm Manchurian Badger knot. “Limited Edition’’
Soap; Saponificio Varesino, Tundra Artica 4.3.
Razor; Carbon, CX-Graphite (Ti), with an Original (0.68mm) webbed base plate, 49gms.
From Sean @ Carbon Razors, the razor is from 1 of 2 ‘’Small Batch’’ runs, approx 30 razors in total produced.
Blade; Gillette, Red & White (Aussie Spoiler)\
Post-shave; My Concoction; Saponificio Varesino, Tundra Artica milk/balm.
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; Very pleasant shave, the more I use the Aussie Spoilers the more I enjoy them. I usually only use them in my Aristocrat Gen 1, but thanks to @vitorria, I was gifted 2 packets, so the CX got a turn. The M7 a I only face lather I’m finding great, easily lathers up on all my soaps, though a bit of a ‘’holder’’ but still not broken in, nice finish with the Tundra Artica milk/balm, my favourite SV to date.

Luv the Culmak, I have an 82 that was NOS, I used for a month of vintage Gillette shaves and reckon I could have kept on using (as a daily) if not for BAD?

Last night’s shave:
I didn’t get a chance to post since I worked a double and went to sleep at 2am but prior to that, I had this amazing shave. I am really shocked at the Yaqi Ghost Titanium razor. For about $110 it’s making its way to the top of the den. The weight of titanium is ideal for me, not too light like aluminum and not too heavy like brass or stainless yet very smooth, efficient, and maneuverable. I appreciate the feel of titanium in the hand and on the face.
The Yaqi brush is an exceptional value.
The blade was a newly opened tuck of Gillette Minora. I have only used one other Minora, from a sample pack, 3 times. This blade was exceptionally smooth and sharp. Overall a fantastic two pass with touchups!

Great review and set up mate. Is that the ghost 90 with the duel comb? If so I have the same razor. I like it too. It’s very light and nimble in the hand.
Cheers.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it, mate. The DE looks really nice.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Speick Shave Cream
Jayaruh #438 Synthetic
Fatip Grande
PolSilver
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Speick After Shave

The Speick Shave Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #438 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fatip Grande razor and the PolSilver Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Speick After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thank you sir! It’s not the 90 but I did just see the one you’re referring too with an OC on one side a SB on the other, that looks sweet! I am truly impressed with this Yaqi and didn’t expect it to perform and feel as good as it does. I would eventually like to try a 90 though. Have a great day!
