SE SOTD, Friday August 30th 2024 Razor : Yaqi Romulus SE 316 SSP head with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, mild to tame med range. Excellent design, machining and finish QC. Small head parts make for a nimble shave and a joy to use when assembled. If a person wants a more aggressive razor just use the Feather super blades or use a shim of around 4-6/1000 of a inch works well also. One of my favorite SE razors(I was using the Yaqi Excalibur for years and enjoyed that one also but it is not as smooth as the Romulus design IMO. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning. Blade : Kai Titian captain mild (5) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity in the Romulus razor. Soap : Razorock M.F croap. Nice scented soap with excellent lather qualities. Brush : Yaqi "Moka express" 26mm Timberwolf synthetic(odd trial knot I bought,Lucky me!) Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. One of my favorite 26mm synthetic brushes. 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 with witch hazel + 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 Yaqi Romulus with a Kai C.T.M.P blade.(It would be hard to get a better shave this morning for myself!) Have some great shaves!
