Post-shave: Not needed
I just received a bunch of packages today, including a few things from Yaqi and some samples from Hendrix Classics & Co. The samples are Badass, Emperor of Oud, and Havana Breeze. Pete from HC&C suggested I tr6 EoO first since I haven't tried an oud-based scent before. He was absolutely right that it is amazing! What a fragrance! I have a full-sized tub of Badass so I'm already familiar with what great soap it is. Great scent strength and slickness. Definitely one of my favorite artisan brands.
One of the Yaqi items was an Excalibur Artist Club razor. This was my first AC shave and boy was it good. I had a normal three-pass shave that ended as a DFS+. I was hesitant to take it any further with aggressive pickups and I think that was the right choice. The post-shave alum stick rub revealed ZERO irritation. I chose the blade completely at random from a sampler pack of Feather and Kai blades. This was either complete beginner's luck or I really do just favor SE shaves, regardless of which type it is. I couldn't be more satisfied right now. Happy shaves all!
Great acquisitions and shave report. Congrats.

This razor is just so smooth, well worth the outlay and very much a contender against much more expensive Adjustables.
The brush was gifted to me by a good friend and really is a favourite of mine.
Sort of glad to see the back of this year and Unmentionable-cember, looking forward to next month where i will be mixing and matching again including getting out a couple of my Unmentionable SE's  , its been a while.
So enjoy your evening whatever you have planned, goodbye 2021 and a Happy New Year to all my shaving buddies.
Remember!
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Last Shave of 2021
![[Image: zcws.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/905gwjZc/zcws.jpg)
Cold Water Rinse
START Shave Cream
Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
Unmentionable Razor
Unmentionable Blade
CWR
Pinaud Clubman AS
The START Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Unmentionable Razor with an Unmentionable Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

2021 was a rough year for many people. So it's fitting that shave 21 with this Gem SS PTFE was a bit rough too. And even more ironic that it was on the last day of the year. Luckily unlike 2021 I was able to load a fresh blade mid way through and finish the shave without any more issues. Vintage Williams and Aqua Velva along with the Zenith Boar performed fantastic. And today's watch is the G-Shock DW5600E.

I don't know about all that, but there sure ain't nothin' wrong with bloomin' a soap. With some soaps if you don't your lather ends up looking kinda "Fuzzy" if you know what I mean. ?
