Razor : Yaqi Sentinel 1.5mm 316 SSP with a Yaqi Tear drop handle 316 SSP. Mfg 2022>, mild to tame mid range. Interesting design to hold & locate blade + machining and finish are excellent IMO. I like to shave with this razor with a shallow angle(riding the cap) gives me the better results + close and irritation free shave has been my conclusion. Blade : GSB (3) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity. Brush : Yaqi "Viper" 24mm boar bristle knot. Very enjoyable boar brush to use for my shaving needs. Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream. Very nice scented soap with some of the best lather qualities. Affordable and you get a lot 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 : Ach Brito Lavanda splash 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 Sentinel 1.5mm with a GSB blade. Excellent combination of razor and blade this morning.
