Comments	This is the second shave with my RR Stealth Slant, a prototype razor, with a Personna Medical Prep blade. Another excellent shave. Today’s brush was made by Rudy Vey and has a Shavemac D01 two band knot. This brush did a nice job of loading the bits of soap left in the puck. This was the 121st shave with the Williams soap. It is getting more difficult to load the soap since there is not much left to the puck. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day and weekend, folks.

SE SOTD, Friday, April 26th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP SE, 50mm AC type with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, tame mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC for a reasonable price for a Stainless steel razor IMO. I like to use the Kai Captain Titian mild blades and it is the first AC SE razor for what ever reason I can get 8 decent shave with a AC blade, not sure why because using other razors like the Yaqi Excalibur I usually only get 6 shaves per Kai Titian pink or Schick proline blades. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain Mild (7) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity for a AC blade type IMO. One of the better performing AC blades I have used for longevity IMO.
Soap : Razorock "The Dead Sea" , very nice addictive enjoyable scented soap that turns my crank with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "mysterious space" 24mm timber wolf synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Great all a round shave brush for most of my shaving needs.
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 The dead sea 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 Romulus AC type razor with a Kai Captain mild blade.

Have some great shaves!

Three shaves this week. For once I have met my goal. We will see how the weekend pans out. I would like to use my RFB Rotbart Mond Extra and my first gen OC British Aristocrat. Both excellent shavers when dealing with a couple days growth. Today is Fatboy Friday so that is what I used starting high and adjusting down for each pass. My WR2 1.25 SB would have got me closer with less work, but, I would get at least one weeper if not more. The DO1 Two Band Silvertip had a touch of scritch today which it hasn't before. That was only on the initial face lathering and disappeared on the subsequent passes. I love this brush. I should have gotten this knot years ago. I paid more for less with my Morris & Fordran Heritage II Blonde Badger. When I run out of Valobra based Czech& Speake Oxford & Cambridge I will really be sad. At least I have four travel sized when the full size puck runs out. They are a pain so when it comes time I will probably shred and press them into my apothecary bowl or blue Old Spice mug. Fantastic lather again today. Also I have some Fine Classic to extend the scent at least. I think I am about out of the splash, of Lavender Pour Homme. I may have a backup bottle in one of my hoard of shaving supplies, but, I think I only found one when they were discontinued. I arrived late to the party with Fine. I don't know about any of the current scents with the exception of the aventus clone which I don't really care for. But I know I don't care for the croap base either so it is a moot point. Also I should mention St Johns Vetiver. I use this almost all the time for my face, hands, and body. Great stuff. There is another big Vetiver Bar soap I like, but, this one is best. I use the St Johns cologne with Martin de Candre Vetyver Shaving soap usually.
