SE SOTD, Thursday, May26th 2022 Razor : Yaqi Katana SE- Mfg 2021> Excellent tame mid range 2nd use, I snip a DE blade in half and good for 2-3 shaves per side of blade. Interesting design for clamping the blade, I find the best method is place blade up against the blade posts on top cap and then place bottom base plate + finger clamp the 3parts and then snug up lightly with handle. Take a paper blade box to bump lightly the front blade edge to make sure alignment is good and finally tighten the handle and do a last visual check works well. Nice shave results I received this morning. If it feels overly aggressive the blade is not seated properly up against the posts IMO. Blade : Gillette Astra (1) half blade, Sharp & smooth with great longevity. Soap : Razorock Don Marco, nice citrus scent with excellent lather qualities. Brush : Yaqi Artic sky 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent 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 : Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless). Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Yaqi Katana SE with a Gillette Astra SP. Have some great shaves!
Thur 26th May RR 400. Plissoft noir Tabac PAL Adjustable Schick S/S Single- Japan ( 3 ) Tabac A/S Lotion. Somehow have managed to miss a couple of Shave reports. Tried out the PAL Injectomatic with great success on Wed and followed it up yesterday with The Adjustable.A lovely Shave as I got a very thick Tabac lather which made it so smooth with a great close finish. I really should use this Razor much more, but like others has been sidelined by my use of AC/ SE Razors.
