SE SOTD, Friday, January 5th,2024

Razor : Yaqi SE Romulus 316SSP + Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP(Darwin looking)handle- Mfg 2023>, mild range. Excellent machining & polished finish QC. Small head parts makes it easier to assemble on a wash cloth is what I have found. The razor is on of my favorites for being nimble and results are excellent using a Kai SS Titian mild I have been using. My shave this morning was stellar close and comfortable. (Yesterday was another stellar close shave and the Romulus + Kai Titian mild performed excellent for snipping short stubble IMO.)
Blade : Kai Captain Titian SS Mild (5) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier AC blade in my den!
Soap : Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore nice vanilla + light tobacco scented with excellent lather qualities. Good post- shave feel when done the shave IMO.
Brush : Yaqi " Ever helpful" 22 mm 2 band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, firmer splay scrubber, great lather painter. Designed with a short dense loft for those folks who enjoy the scrub when lathering, I tend to paint more with this brush and it has a nice face feel as a great 2band badger should.
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 M.F splash(I like this splash with the soap compo) with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus SSP with a Kai Captain Titian mild. Great combination of Razor and blade.

Have some great shaves!

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave) (Clone razor week)

First outing of the "Indian made Trac-II clone" Gallant II platinum cartridge razor of which it's overall performance is was significantly better to the Treet Swift II Platinum providing an acceptable smooth near BBS head shave. If I had to choose which I prefer then it would be the Gallant II platinum purely because the closeness that it gives is significantly better than the Treet Swift II Platinum. That being said, both razors are equal in smoothness & comfortable.

I will continue to add the Gallant II Platinum for my head shaves throughout the month duration of the month, and beyond purely to use the cartridge heads.

I have carried on for with my revisiting blade focus using the Super Shave X Platinum blade which are manufactured in china made of Swedish steel and paired together admirably with the Baili BD177 wonderfully.
The Baili BD177 (super-speed clone) is an incredibly good razor, out of all my super-speed clone razors this is my favourite each and every shave that I've had with it has been consistent comfortable, and close. Today yet again, was no exception.
the Vitos Vegetal another wonderfully 'Full On' vibrant sweet almond scented shaving soap to start my first weekend 0f 2024 off in style. If you like almond scented shaving products this shaving soap will blow you always with it's fragrance performance and post shave feel...Superb stuff!

An acceptable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
