SE SOTD, Friday, February 16th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP SE 50mm AC type with a Yaqi Chippendale SSP handle, Mfg 2023>, mild to tame mid range depending on blade or shim used IMO. Excellent machining and finish QC makes for a nice nimble razor to roam my beard.
Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain Titian mild 50mm (5) sharp and smooth. Very nice blade with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock XXX Fresco, nice unique XXX clean scent with some menthol + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi " Ever helpful" 22mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice firm splay scrubber, + excellent lather painter. Great little brush for scrubbing + has a soft tip feel because it has a shorter loft, I like to paint with this brush mostly after a little scrubbing.
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 XXX Fresco 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 with a Kai Captain titian mild blade.

Have some great shaves!

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

Another eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...I've returned to using The Treet Dura Sharp blue pack carbon PTFE/Teflon edge coated blades, purely because it's another blade I've only used a few times in the past, I've also got the Yellow pack and feel there is only a minor difference with both blades, with the blue feeling slightly sharper and less smooth than the yellow. That said I like both blades equally.

Having such a vast amount of various Treet blades, 350 +!!! "impulsive buying urges".We are all guilty of these urges with past buys...Anyway, for myself I need to start using them up. I intend to carry on using the Dura Sharp blue pack & other Treet blades for a good while.

The MWF as always provided me with a wonderful protective slick lather for the shave leaving an excellent post shave feel...I've stated many times in my postings that I could easily shave with MWF/Kent shaving soap forever, but like everyone else I like variety with my shaves.

An acceptable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Cien Sensitive ASB.

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

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

Awesome shave Karl!

You gave me some good inspiration for my shave tomorrow morning - it’s going to be the Frosted Lavender soap with the matching aftershave. I want to put some of them there icicles in my face!
