Head and face shave.
Leaf razor with Gillette Super Blue.
Yaqi Baenziger with Personna Gem.
Semogue boar brush.
Løthur Oregon soap and splash.
'My Beard' balm.
That was time well spent in the bathroom.
A fantastic head shave with leaf as always, but the star of the show was the Yaqi Baenziger. It's a two piece open comb and nod to Paolo Baenziger's original Benz razor.
The Baenziger made light work of a weeks growth, and yes I've been very lazy. I had no issues with this razor and after the usual three passes, I have a very smooth face indeed. Highly recommended to those who like open comb offerings with higher efficiency.
Happy Shaving
