SoS: November 2022

DE SOTD, Thursday, Dec 1st, 2022

Razor : Yaqi Top aggressive slant, Mfg 2019>, interesting slant and designed with blade exposure and it performs in that manner.
I like to use a steep approach (ridding the bar) with a short handle with aggressive razors. Experimenting with 2 stacked blades in some of my DE razors lately to see how they change performance. Yaqi performed OK with 2 X DE blades IMO.
Blade : Gillette Astra SP X 2- sharp & smoooth with excellent longevity.
Soap : Razorock Irish Country side, unique scent (Irish Creed?)+ excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Black marble" 24mm silvertip badger- excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + great lather painter.
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 Irish Countryside with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Yaqi slant with 2 X Astra SP blades.

Have some great shaves!
