    Great review Dave, Yaqi is a interesting company when it comes to making razors. They make one razor in a small batch and then they get feedback and do another correction version with a small batch and then the final version with it's finally improvements. Oh well each company develops products differently, Yaqi makes a good shave brushs and I have a # of them.

    Soap: Ach Brito Lavada, nice mild lavender scent + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Mysterious space 24mm Silvertip badger- excellent lather generator, Heavenly pillow like soft tips, nice scrub + excellent lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a clear dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Ach Brito Lavanda with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion (balm) + scentless.

    Yowzah! That razor is beautiful. I haven't seen one of those before.

    I was just yesterday looking at this razor, wondering if it was worth a try. I'm glad to see it works well for you. I have yet to try an adjustable DE that gives me a great shave. I have a Gillette Slim, Super Adjustable, and a Rockwell Model T. I keep thinking a Merkur Progress might be a good fit, or maybe a Parker Variant. Or maybe adjustables just aren't for me and I should quit while I'm ahead.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Soap
    Jayaruh #395
    58 Gillette Rocket
    Nacet Stainless
    CWR
    Florida Water Cologne

    The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #395 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 58 Gillette Rocket Razor with a Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 22, 2021

    The in-laws arrived from Las Vegas last night. So there was really only time for a quick mug shave, as I’m breakfast cook. I decided to pass on the noggin till tomorrow. The shave although quick, was close and comfortable. I needed to get up and reboot the downstairs furnace. The heat exchanger cracked on Monday, the day before my guests arrived. So I'm having to reboot it two or three times a day until I can get a new furnace installed, not a priority for most heating and cooling companies over the holidays. In any case my mug shave with the Feather DX, my favorite barber’s razor before the arrival of the Tedalus, went swimmingly. I’m cool, clean and velveteen!

    RAZOR: Feather DX (Mug)
    BLADE: Feather Super AC
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: MrEE LE #007 Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid Knot
    CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature Scent
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Bergamot & Thyme AS Balm.
