DE SOTD, February 8th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Sentinel 1.55mm, 316SSP with a Yaqi Rocket SS handle- Mfg 2021>, Mild to tame mid aggression. Excellent machining and finish QC that looks similar to the Personna BBS0, LAS BBS1, Wolfman W2 designed razors. This razor works great with a shallow angle(riding the cap) for my shaving better results. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai SS extra wide(8) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity! Top tier blade IMO for milder razors or a person who enjoys a little blade feel increase or exposure.
Soap : Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore. Nice Vanilla with light tobacco scent with light menthol with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Sagrada Familia" 24 mm Tuxedo synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice 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 : Razorock M.F splash( I like RR MF more than SMDF slash with the soap!) with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 10.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Sentinel with a Kai SS extra wide.

What a treat! 🤩

Razor: Gillette Tech (England)
Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (1)
Brush: Mühle synthetic
Soap: Stirling Dunshire
Aftershave: Fine Barber Blue

Truly a wonderful shave.
First time with the PermaSharp and the Fine.
Great blade - and fantastic AS. It is my first mentholated AS - what a feeling 💪
I tried to do some kind of bullfrogging - it really helped me to not get irritation on the neck.

DFS today. Went with the only NA soap I have, and I only two NA aftershaves (the other Old Spice which is Canadian made). I don't have any NA brushes or blades, but I access to a Gillette Slim (which I've never used).
