Brush - Yaqi Rainbow
Soap - Ingram Cream
Razor - Wilkinson Classic
Blade - Gillette 7OC Permasharp (7)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Benjamin's Bay Rum Mentholated
Woke up this morning not feeling quite at the races, but the menthol packed Ingram lather woke me up! The Yaqi Rainbow seems to be a very good brush, probably the densest Yaqi Brush I have used (around 5-6 to date) but splays well enough.
Anyway chaps, have a good Saturday.

Super Speed/Astra Green day 7
First Canadian Polar Vortex SS
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash
The Astra blade pretty well crapped out on me during the second pass but miraculously this shave turned out to be BBS albeit with a lot of touching up everywhere. This Polar Vortex soap by itself is fantastic - it’s a pleasure to lather up, and it’s got a wicked menthol sensation but the scent is really nothing to write home about and there’s unfortunately a lack of skincare so that’s the reason why I don’t use it often. The Prep relieved the dryness and irritation right away and the Aqua Velva added its own special icy cold soothing with that nice old school scent that I love so much. By the way, the Polar Vortex soap is made in Canada!

Pre-shave: Hot Shower using Tom Ford OUD Wood Gel.
Brush: S.V. Rosewood HMW 2band
Razor: Walter Stocker Solingen 5/8
Bowl: S.V. "The Grail"
Soap: Sebum Purple (Sample)
Splash: Rebul Eau De Cologne Lavander
Fragrance: Tom Ford Lavander Palm EDP
I am out for the duration shortly so I wanted a "special" shave and what a shave it was.
First and foremost I would like to explain that I mentioned how interested I am in Sebum on a members SOTD post Thursday. Friday I received a PM from @Optometrist who so kindly offered me a sample. This morning I opened my mail box and a glorious smell hit me straight in the face. Not only had David sent me Sebum Purple but Gold & Green. Enough for numerous shaves. I take my hat off to you sir, your generosity is overwhelming and I am truly grateful.
The star of the show has to be the soap. I know this stuff requires a second mortgage to purchase but what a product. The scent is divine. You get a natural hit of lavender and sweet mint with a menthol kick at the end.
I was advised that little water is needed and that appears to be certainly the case. This is not the easiest to dial in straight off the bat. I used a well shaken brush and carefully added water. It started to bloom after a some considerable effort and rewarded me with a rich creamy lather. Aftershave feel is second to none. Its early stages yet with this soap but its greatest properties to me at the moment is the post shave factor. Second to none.
I went for a four pass shave just to soak up the experience further so as you can imagine I am BBS and probably wont need to shave for the next five days.
Enjoy your shaves!
