    • Brush: Frank Shaving Butterscotch Classic handle w/ DS Cosmetics 24mm SHD G7 Synthetic knot #SHD
    • Razor: Razorock Game Changer .68-P #CNC
    • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
    • Preshave: Proraso – Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol Cream
    • Lather: Yaqi – Miyaqi
    • Post Shave: Nivea – Sensitive Post Shave Balm

    Issey Miyake is a wife fav, so I gave the Miyaqi dupe a try (Master Soap Creations makes it for Yaqi). Never used MSC before and similar to other first times with new (to me) artisans I had a close shave with a bit of razor burn. More practice will determine whether I didn’t do a good enough job building the lather or that the MSC base doesn’t work for me. LG PRACTICE #ROTY

    This is the first of a 10-day vacation in the Philippines with my family (yea!). Previously I’ve looked for excuses to not shave on vacation, but now that I’ve found a shaving technique that works well with my face, software and hardware I’m really looking forward to starting the day off with an enjoyable shave.
