DE SOTD, Thursday, March 30th 2023

Razor : Yaqi SLOPE slant 316 SS with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SS Darwin looking handle- Mfg 2023>, mild to tame mid range depending on blade used and how mature your technique is. Machining and finish QC are excellent and are perfect for my shaving needs. Well built and is one of kind design as of now & is a superb modern torsion type slant with the slopping safety bar makes the Yaqi slope a true slant.
Carefree shaving with a Kai Extra wide blade this morning for a excellent shave & also made for a good match with my Yaqi SLOPE slant for a tame mid range shave IMO.
Blade : Kai extra wide (3), sharp & smoooth with excellent longevity. The Kai blade is 9/1000 inches wider or .0045" per side giving a nice slight boost in blade feel and efficentcy.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier, nice linear unique musk scent(Aramis orginal?) with excellent lather qualities, Yaqi commissioned Master soap creations of S.A to introduce their line soaps and fragrances.
Brush : Yaqi "Ever ready" 2 band badger, excellent lather generator, firm pillow like soft tips, firm splay scrubber, good lather painter. This high density 2 band badger knot with short loft it was designed for folks who enjoy the scrub when using a brush IMO.
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 :Witch hazel beard cleanse + Yaqi Musketeer rapier + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results: or CS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Yaqi Slope slant with a Kai SS extra wide blade. Great carefree shaving mostly with excellent results!


Have some great shaves!
