Another The Deacon Shaves YouTube video.
Happy Monday y'all !!
It's the week of Halloween so I am going to try to use products that can be associated with Halloween.
My trifecta is Resurrected by Van Yulay. The art work is a shaver with his tool, coming back from the dead. The scent is described as This is a very dirty barber shop scent!
Dirt, Driftwood, Sandalwood, Galbanum , Lime, Oakmoss, Hatti Vetiver, Baby Powder, White Pepper, Lavender.
The razor was sent to me by Zomchi for testing and review. It is the Bamboo (notice the boo, Halloween, get it). The only technical information I was able to find was courtesy of @shavetutor and this was from the Black version. Weight: 90g (3.1oz), Handle Length: 10cm (3 7/8″), Over-all Length: 10.6cm (4 1/8″). The head is of the scalloped safety bar type popularized by Edwin Jagger and Muhle.
Outside of the scalloped bar, the design of the head is a little reminiscent of a Rockwell.
Let's open the books on today's shave
Pre Shave - Hot Shower
Razor - @Zomchi Thin Bamboo
Brush - @simpsonshavingbrushes6609 X2L
Bowl - @HendrixClassics Gun Metal Grey
Trifecta - @vanyulay7032 Resurrected
Head Razor - @headblade Greeneblade
Alum Block - Osma
Just some notes: Resurrected is a dark scented barbershop. It lives up to it's name and lathers like all of Monica's shave soap , rich and creamy. And the scent of the trifecta oooo so good !
I want to talk about the Zomchi Bamboo razor. It does come with a set of Zomchi blades. For 1st time use and testing I prefer Astra Green as my benchmark blade. The razor is a 3 piece design and no blade overhang . Good feeling with no grip issues other than this is a thin handle. As for its blade feel and aggression, very little feel and it is (IMHO, YSEMV) it is a mild to mild-mid aggressive shaver. I think that a different blade (Feather or Kai) might step it up. But it was a smooth result in the shave and for the price 16.99 on Amazon), it's a good shaver. With the lower aggression , this would be an excellent starting point for a new wet shaver.
It was a 3 pass trip on the shave train that got me to BBSTown.
Finishing with my Greeneblade for a smooth dome shave was the capper.
