Yaqi Romulus SB / Feather AC Super

Today I shaved after a bath in the afternoon already and not late night, I shaved cold and applied no aftershave or balm, but some cream after shaving.

My skin is having issues at the moment, so I am avoiding overly aggressive shaving. Next razors will be Lambda Ares and Athena, they have similar capabilities to give a close but comfortable shave as the Yaqi Romulus, which is so mild that I have to put in the Feather Super for some extra oomph.
