SE SOTD, Friday, August 2nd 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023> mild to tame mid range depending on Feather AC blade used or shim used. Feather makes different width series blades for the AC 50 mm blades for different reasons and desires. Small head parts makes for nimble shave + weight of this combination of head & handle makes it just as lightweight as most titanium razors.
Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain titan mild(1) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity in this razor.
Soap : TOBS herbal sandalwood cream. Nice loud herbal scents with excellent lather qualities. if a person likes 6+scent strength TOBS sandalwood is a must in most shave dens IMO.
Brush : Yaqi " Moka express" 26mm synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. This 26mm knot size brush was a defect handle experimental brush that they only made a small # of and it is very hard to beat for face feel and performance IMO.
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 : Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood (nice combo) + a dollop of Geo F trumpers skin food .
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus SE with a Kai Captain Titian mild blade.(Very nice shave this morning.)



Have some great shaves!

Razor : Yaqi "Tile" 316 SS machined finish with a Yaqi hollow brass nickel coated handle. Mfg 2021>, mild to tame mid range. Similar to other razor designs current with accurate machining for head and handle. Excellent budget stainless head for folks who would like to learn traditional wet shaving. Fairly safe razor to work the beard and load blades also. Had a close and comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gillette Polsilver SI (1) sharp and smooth with great longevity. I like to cork this blade on first shave most of the time.
Soap : TOBS herbal sandalwood , Very nice loud scented herbal sandalwood (7-8/10 scent) with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Black marble" 24mm 3band silvertip badger. Nice lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. WoW for large bloom and also nice handle! It is how they make the knot to bloom like this compared to my other silvertip badgers brushes(not complaining)!
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 : Proraso red sandalwood with witch hazel + a dollop of Geo f Trumper Sandalwood skin food, GF Trumper nice mild scented sandalwood( ? slight Plum fragrance added??).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Tile razor with a Polsilver SI blade.
