    Sunday shave, Aug 4th 2024

    Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm with a Yaqi Milano 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2021>, mild to tame mid range. Simple clamping system with small head parts. Makes for a nimble decent shave 95% of the time for myself. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
    Blade : Schick SE proline(5) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
    Soap : Razorock Lavender. Nice lavender soap with some of the best lather qualities I have used.
    Brush : Yaqi" Chiantis" 24mm synthetic. Excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Great gentle brush for those easy going days, nice handle + knot.
    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 King louis lavender + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : Dial 10.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Excalibur SE with a Schick proline blade.

    Hi Gary
    The Dead Sea is one I would love to try. The Soap/AS Combo is currently sold out. How do you like these products?
