SE SOTD, Sat, June 11th 2022 Razor : Yaqi V2 Excalibur AC 50mm- Mfg 2021> tame mid range, interesting design for clamping blade, one of my favorite razors, small head design means small parts to handle(I assemble under a wash cloth).

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 : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier+ a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).

Sat 11th June. Alpha G4 Syn 28mm MWF Hiram Commander Schick Proline ( 3 ) Tuff Red A/S Lotion A frustrating day at Computer dealer, trying to get my Laptop etc back on Mail, as they managed to take me off Cloud. However, the Shave was good.The Hiram despite its bulk is extremely tactile and a delight to wield during a Shave - delivers a good close finish as well. Sun 12 June The Grosvenor 404mixed Ach Brito Mogno Occams Enoch Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink ( 3 ) Alcolado Glacial A/S splash Up bright and early as out today for a long day officiating.Not quite sure whether I prefer The Enoch to the Hiram, will have to load them up with the same blade and do a comparison.Both are nice Razors.
