Razor : Yaqi Sentinel 1.50mm 316 SSP head with a Yaqi Teardrop 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2022>,mild range using a standard Gillette blade. Machining and design + finish are top notch for a excellent razor for my shaving needs.
Lately I have been enjoying this razor because it just works well. Very smooth shaver with the 1.5 mm gap makes for a decent daily driver also(this is the proper gap for this type of blade loading design style for comfort and closeness IMO)! This would be a excellent daily driver with a persons favorite handle attached IMO.
This razor works well with a shallow angle(riding the cap) I have tried a steep angle shave a few times but the results are not as good ! Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : GSB(3) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier blade in my shave den.
Soap : Proraso green eucalyptus menthol, interesting masculine menthol scented with excellent lather qualities.
Brush :Yaqi "Lucky dice" 26mm tuxedo knot. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Great brush for a person with large hands with a great synthetic knot.
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 : Proraso green with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 10 stellar.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Yaqi Sentinel razor with a GSB blade. Smooth shave this morning!
