SE SOTD, Friday, February 17th 2023

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE, 50mm with a Yaqi polished 316 SS Milano handle- Mfg 2021>, mild to tame mid range, simple clamping design system, small head parts, good chrome applied mostly. I get stellar results with this razor so I like to use it once a week out of my large razor rotation. Good daily driver for most folks IMO.
Blade : Schick proline P30 50mm (2)- sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. Good pairing with the Yaqi Excalibur.
Soap : Classic Mitchell's Wool fat - nice mild clean scent with great lather qualities. I just cut some slivers with my pocket knife and press into bowl and with a damp brush make a thicker lather with a little water and then apply to face and adjust water as needed for slickness on face mostly painting + gentle splaying action works well for myself. This soap makes some of the best ubber lather with any small dollop of any shaving cream it seems from my experimenting also with the MWF scent dominating usually!
Brush : Yaqi " Moka express" 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, Gentle splay 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 : Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=Excellent shave with my Yaqi SE Excalibur with a Schick proline blade.


Have some great shaves!
