SE SOTD, Sunday, January 26th 2025

Razor : Yaqi Romulus SE 316 SSP open comb with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP Handle. Mfg 2024>, tame mid to middle mid range depending on blade used. Excellent machining, finish and simple clamping design makes for nimble shaving.
Blade : Kai Captain mild pink(2) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. Favorite AC blade for my Romulus SB & OC razors.
Soap : La Toja stick, very mild clean scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Ferrari " 24mm boar bristle knot. Very enjoyable brush to use and boar works very nicely for a change up.
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 : Italian barber Amici with witch hazel (nice scent)+ a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my new Romulus OC razor with a Kai blade.


Have some great shaves!

 

I'm just finishing up on GD's clone of Fine Latigo which is a clone of an old-school leather I can't recall just now. I'll look it up.Here it is-Knize10.Acually it isn't a clone of Fine Latigo, but it's pretty close.
