DE SOTD, Sunday, March 26th, 2023 Razor : Yaqi Zephyr with a Yaqi SS dimpled 316 SS handle, Mfg 2023> mild range, excellent design for clamping, smooth as silk roaming over the face, great daily shaver for folks who has sensitive skin issues. One of the smoothest razors I have ever used, very hard to cut yourself, good buffing razor IMO. I bought mine of the trending sale 3 weeks ago. Testing for first shave and it is like others have mentioned already, a excellent mild razor. The razor is accurately injection molded when shaving with both sides shaving evenly + a excellent finish with excellent QC IMO. I will have to try a Kai SS blade extra wide some time this week. Very affordable good razor if a person likes a mild razor with a standard blade IMO, a Kai SS blade extra wide will give it a boost I'm thinking for folks who like a little more blade feel (I will try the Kai SS extra wide blade a try on Tuesday). Blade : Gillette silver blue (3) sharp & smoooth with reasonble longevity. Soap : Razorock American barber, sharp linear unique scent with excellent lather qualities. Brush : Yaqi "Ferrari" bleached boar bristle brush, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristles, nice gentle splay scrubber + great lather painter. Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area. Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups. Post shave : Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless). Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my new Yaqi Zephyr razor with a GSB blade. Have some great shaves!
