I think they’re excellent blades for my skin and whiskers. Not the sharpest, but smooth, consistent and reliable. They never fail to satisfy. They were the first blades I bought in bulk, and luckily still have ~200 remaining in my stash. I use them now with a rationing mentality (like Med Preps). I thought they were long gone from the marketplace, but just last week learned that Fendrihan still has inventory available, and for a reasonable price! It’s now or never if you’re looking to stock up. If you’d like to sample a few, send me a PM.

Hi Charlie!
I purchased them from Fendrihan a few weeks ago and shared my findings here. Thank you for the kind offer! the kindness on this forum never gets old!
I'm well stocked. They were a nice find and I'm really happy with them. I agree, they aren't the sharpest but they are really smooth.
Have a great day!

Best wishes,
Paul

Sunday morning - my birthday shave:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 11
Captain Nemo Explosion de Cedrat SS
Captain Nemo Kaffir Lime AS Toner
Chabrawichi 555 Cologne (from Egypt)

Such a delightful and refreshing setup on a beautiful sunny morning - my dear brother Abir who owns Captain Nemo produces fantastic soaps and aftershaves. The Explosion de Cedrat is vegan based like all the other soaps from this company, it has a lovely lemony/lime scent, it gives awesome lather that’s so slick, there’s a pretty good amount of menthol in it, and it’s so skin friendly. The Kaffir Lime aftershave toner is so beautifully scented, it’s very moisturizing as well as soothing, and there’s no shortage of menthol in this stuff. Finally the Chabrawichi 555 cologne which is so cheap in Egypt has a really pleasant lemony/lavender scent and it can also be used as an aftershave. Three slow, relaxing passes gave me a magnificent BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely. I’ll be spending the day with the wife, the daughter, and my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law as well as my in-laws!

Have a great Sunday - happy shaving!

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm with a Yaqi Milano 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Small head parts makes using a wash cloth to assemble a little easier. This is a affordable entry razor head to try AC type blades IMO. I usually get decent shaves with this razor. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Schick proline (5) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, very nice scent of Lavender + uplifting with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Viper" 24mm boar bristle brush. Excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice splay scrubber + great 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 : Ach Brito Lavanda cologne aftershave + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm with a Schick proline blade.

Have some great shaves!
