Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm, with a Yaqi Milano SSP handle- Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Simple clamping system + small head parts (I assemble on wash cloth) make for a small nimble razor. I have used this razor well over 100 times over 2 years and it gives a decent shave 95%> of the time. Good daily driver IMO. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Schick proline (4) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity. Good combination with my Excalibur razor.
Soap : Razorock XXX Fresco mentholated- it still has the similar XXX original clean scent but mentholated + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Moka express" 26 mm Husky knot. Excellent lather generator, Heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, Gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Nice sale brush for what I paid. 26mm Yaqi knots are perfect for my shaving needs.
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 XXX Fresco with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :
or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=
Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Schick proline.
Have some great shaves!

Fourth shave on the modified Schick Injector blade and still going strong. The Empire will fool you while you are shaving. It acts inefficient but upon dry down you realize it was a fantastic shave. This mirage causes you to over-shave and you really have to fight the urge. Funny little razor that it is.

Absolutely incredible soap, if available I would buy backups to all 4 soaps that I ordered.
Shaved today just to use the soap again, and probably will shave in the morning to use a third soap.
