This is the second my RR Stealth Rasor loaded with a Personna Medical Prep. Blade. Like yesterday’s shave with this combination, the shave today was excellent: Smooth and close. I am using one of the Today I am using the only Manchurian I have: by Zenith. I have had this brush for only two years and I love it. It holds an incredible amount of lather. The Williams soap was used for the 46th time. Have a great day and week, folks.

SE Sunday shave, January 21, 2024

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm AC with a Yaqi Milano 316 SSP handle- Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Small head parts make for a nimble razor to work the beard area well. Very enjoyable and 95%> of the time I receive excellent shaves. Very affordable razor head but blades are pricy IMO. Had a excellent close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Schick proline p 30(1) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock XXX Fresco, nice clean unique XXX scent with some menthol + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Atlantis" 24mm G4 knot synthetic. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very similar face feel to my 3band silvertip badgers 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 : Razorock XXX Fresco with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 10.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Schick proline blade.

Lather Catcher & Sample Sunday Celebration

The first pass was a bit rough. Didn't have the angle of the blade quite right. Flipped the blade and adjusted it a bit on the second pass and that's all it took. It does need a shim behind the blade at the top to force the angle downwards towards the stops and the open comb. Having never shaved with one of these before and this being only my second attempt it turned out pretty good. Dried down to a nice BBS.
