A really good shave, this razor is a little tricky for me. I just got this soap and it smells great but the texture is very cream like instead of soap. I transferred it to this small 2oz vintage jar. In the end i used the trusty r41 to pick up the few stragglers.

SE SOTD, Fri, June 25th 2021

Razor: Yaqi Excalibur 50mm, Mfg 2021, tame mid range, good razor to try if thinking of trying this 50mm blade realm.
Blade: Chinese Blue type(4 binned), knock off of the AC 50mm types, Sharp & smooth with low longevity IMO. Still gets the job done.
Soap: Razorock what the puck Lime, lime scented with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi red Zebra 26mm synthetic excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, great scrub + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + a few blemish weepers= great shave with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Blue blade.


Have some great shaves!

 

SOTN (June 24 / 25)

Somehow I forgot to post my shave last night before my ED shift.




Both shaves were wonderful… the Hiram is a really nice razor (for me) if daily shaving. Otherwise I need to make too many passes and risk razor burn. My wife was liking the scent tonight .




Happy Healthy Shaves all.

Thank you Gary!!

 

Mine came in last Friday, the same day my Stainless Steel The General came in, but I gave it a test drive this past Sunday and I didn't notice a difference in the shave as well. Next week I will us the V2 and compare it overall )fit, finish, door closure) against the V1 but the initial shave with the V2 did not appear to be any different than my V1.

I was quite happy with the V1, but the V2 was a father's day gift from my daughter, even though I did not want anything shave related as I have too much as it is and I splurged on Stainless Steel The General and now have, the aluminum, brass, and SS.

 

Thanks, Gary!
