DE SOTD, Thursday, August 15 2024

Razor : Yaqi 2nd Generation Mellon 316 razor head with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. MFG 2023> mid range with no blade tab overhang. The shave is slightly more aggressive than the 1st Generation Mellon head that has blade tab overhang that I also own.
Well made and performs great IMO! Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gillette Perma-sharp (3) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Yaqi Black pearl, nice mild scent that reminds me of some Razorock M.Fudder scent I own + excellent lather Qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Red Zebra" 26mm snow leopard synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, Luxury, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Another 26mm brush I enjoy.
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 : Yaqi Black pearl splash with witch hazel + 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 Mellon razor with a Perma-sharp blade.


Have some great shaves!

Personna PTFE SE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Lilac Vegetal

The L'OCCITANE Cade Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #460 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Contour Razor and the Personna PTFE SE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

My second time with the new REX Supply blade. I used a more efficient razor. The blade was still smooth, but it gave an even better shave than it did with the Gillette Tech. I did two complete passes. There was absolutely no need for a touch-up.
No nicks or weepers or razor burn. Happy shaves all.

My brother-in-law uses the 4711 A.S., but I think it's a different-looking bottle.
