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!

A original blade that has been dulled is used to hold the modern Injector blade in.

Is also a great option but last time I checked they were sold out. You could check with them to see if/when they might be available again.

Great shave with this Star Bar razor this morning. I've wanted one for quite a while. So when I saw this one pop up with a really low starting bid I figured I'd throw a slightly higher bid on and see what happened. No one else bid and I got it cheap. I did quite a bit of scrubbing and sanitizing on this one. It looks like it's been a bit neglected. I wonder where and for how long it sat unused.
