Razor : Razorock Game changer.84 316 SS, Mfg 2018>, tame mid range, well built & finish is adequate for my shaving needs. This razor works well for my self over the years and I enjoy it more with a Kai extra wide blade that boosts up efficentcy and a little more blade feel that I like in a razor. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai SS extra wide(9) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity. Top tier blade, one of my favorite for more blade feel.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier(Aramis scent) + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Robin" 24mm boar bristle, excellent lather generator, soft split end boar bristle hairs, great splay scrubber + great lather painter.

Rating: 10

Have a nice weekend and great shaves.
