Trying to decide which Weber razor head (PH, ARC, or DLC) and which Weber handle (Classic, Wave, or Bulldog) to pair with a Personna 74 (12). Decisions, decisions.

| Comments | I am going with a different razor and blade today. I went with my Henson AL13*** - the more aggressive Henson razor. I went with a Wizamet blade which works well in this razor. The shave was smooth and close. Today’s brush is a Rooney 1/3 Silvertip badger. This is the only Rooney brush I own. The brush helped make some nice lather with the Haslinger soap. This was the twelfth consecutive day I used the soap. The shave was perfect. Have a wonderful day and weekend, folks. |

I really like this Enders with an Injector Blade. It's a better shave than some of my actual Injectors.
Also getting to like the Taconic Lime - it's a glycerine puck and I just used it like a shave stick.
Rubbed it on the face and BAM the little Rubberset whipped up a great face lather.

SE SOTD, Friday, May 10th
Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP SE 50mm + a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, tame to mid range depending on blade or shim used. Machining and finish QC great for my shaving needs + .006 gap works well for myself. Kai Captain mild blades work well and for what ever reason they last longer in this razor! One of my go to razors and performance is excellent . Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain Mild (9) sharp and smoooth with excellent longevity. One of the best 50mm blades for AC type razor heads IMO.
Soap : La Toja stick, mild natural smoke scent from manufacturing + excellent lather qualities using a synthetic IMO.
Brush :Yaqi " Panda" 24mm Tuxedo knot. Excellent lather generator, Cloud like soft tips, great splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 : Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :
or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=
Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus SE with a Kai Captain mild. Amazing how the Kai blade is performing with the Romulus, I will push the blade a little more to see the boundaries of these blade (I use to toss Kai mild blades after 6 uses but the last 2 blades I'm getting 8 great + shaves!).
Have some great shaves!

Razor: Fatip Il Piccolo OC
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (1)
Soap: Razorock The Stallion
Brush: AP Shave Co. G5A
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Post shave: Osma alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman
In honor of Fatip Friday, I broke out the Piccolo OC today. It hasn't been used in nearly a year. But, as usual, it gave a great shave.
Two tiny red spots, but no irritation. It was a great shave. I would use this razor more, but aligning the blade is a hassle.
Enjoy your day!
