SE SOTD, May 17th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP SE 50mm with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023> tame mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC with a nimble feel to it when shaving. I like to match this razor with a Kai Captain titian mild seems to work the best for myself. Small head parts make it very nimble to work the beard and just a joy to use. Had a close comfortable shave this morning .
Blade : Kai Captain Titian mild 50mm AC type(10) sharp and smoooth with excellent longevity. This blade just set a mile stone for first AC type 50mm blade to get 10 excellent shaves over 10 weeks with reasonable life left in it. I'm not sure if this is a constant but the blade is just performing well for my beard and happy to have purchased them from RR sale.
Soap : Razorock Emperor, unique linear scent that has excellent lather qualities.(I enjoy the Emperor scent slightly more!)
Brush : Yaqi "Artic sky" 3band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Nice handle to feel with a decent knot that puts a smile on my face!
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 Emperor splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 9.5.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus SE 50mm with a Kai mild.(Great shave blade with 10 uses and producing excellent shaves with excellent).
