    DE SOTD, Sat, Feb 5th 2022, New razor testing + 1st shave!

    Razor: Yaqi V3 TFC adjustable with Gun metal handle- Mfg 2021> excellent adjustable razor, 1st shave, I read a little on line about this razor and concluded it would be great around 1-3 setting for myself and folks where correct. Started out around 2 and then 1 and pickups 3 and it was mostly a carefree shave for myself. I like the 1 & 2 range mostly and felt it was a nice sweet spot for my self not aggressive but efficient and my 1 day stubble did not stand a chance.
    My razor felt equal on both sides when turned 180 degrees and that was great feeling because that was a good test for any razor that the machining is accurate enough .
    Grip of razor was adequate with medium knurling, adjustment on top worked well and there are a lot in-between settings.
    After all said & done with my 1st shave I pulled out the Alum block that does not lie and did my sweep of the face and indicated really not much of anything for stinging!
    The razor finish on the out side is very good and under the cap looked reasonable but not perfect, might be a bargain for some folks who always wanted a Gibbs style razor that takes regular DE blades like myself!
    So my shave also hit my sweet spot for final results after 2 passes with pickups of DFS,BBS (DFS++) shave [​IMG] [​IMG] .
    Yes, I could of gotten a much closer shave on 4>6> settings no doubt but that is not always my goal , and not always a comfortable shave on higher settings as most already know with adjustable razors.
    Blade: Gillette Nacet(4) excellent sharp & smooth blade.
    Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Robin 24mm boar bristle, excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, great scrub + great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Alum block with rinse after 30-60 seconds + Razorock King Louis Lavender Aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing cream + scentless.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] excellent shave with my Yaqi TFC adj with a Gillette Nacet blade.

    I had to work this evening so it was a nice leisurely 2 pass shave this afternoon. Used the big brush and loaded heavy. No irritation.

    After over a year of use, I can finally see the bottom of the MWF container.

    I am excited to try a different soap.
