SE SOTD- What was your tool of choice today?

[captnronfl]

Razor: Yaqi 50 Light Weight Head and Custom Handle
Blade: Blade that came with it [1]
First shave with razor and the blade that ships with it.
A full week of stubble and it mowed right through.
Two pass BBS
I didn't like the feel of the handle so I chose one that I like to match it.

Hawk v3 with A plate. Tested out the schick proline. Hated them. Will be getting rid of them and sticking to the feather professional, which are very smooth and efficient for me.

Soap L'Occitane Cade 1st Use With thanks to a kind member in another forum
Brush Yaqi 24mm Heavy Metal Tuxedo
Razor Yaqi AC brass
Blade Shick Proline P-30 1st With thanks to a kind member in a UK forum
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic
Interesting soap. Quite easy to load, very light pleasant scent, kinda airy type but wow...the lather is really slick...
Shave with razor paired with another Proline blade this time from another kind member in the UK forum. Quite good...smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues resulting in a mostly bbs finish. Somehow I still prefer the guarded AC blades. The Stirling Witchhazel as AS is terrific! Rating 9.6/10

Tested out the schick proline. Hated them.

It is a very rare occasion when Feather Artist Pros are preferred over Schick Proline P-series blades. At least online. I’m sorry it was not an enjoyable experience for you.

Micromatic & Gem S/S [ 2 ]

Seems as though my touch is improving as the Shave with the OC was very good. No long quick strokes, short deliberate ones at the end to get rid of stubborn areas of growth, and rewarded with a bit of a Face Stroker without any problems.

There will be blood 🩸!
Razor: Blackland Vector SB
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink (1)
BrushAA Amber Aerolite
Soap: VITOS Extra Super
Post: Thayers WH Aloe
Aftershave: Captain’s Choice Nor’Easter

The shave: 2 WTG and an ATG for face and neck. First shave with an unguarded blade. JK about the blood, just 1 small pinprick on chin that closed up before the post shave routine. Very smooth DFS shave. Wanted to see how the neck did irritation wise on my 2 trouble spots, no issues...looks very promising. Loving the VITOS Extra Super, going to use it for the rest of the week.
Stay safe & have fun.

Thur 8th April.

Occams Enoch & Kai CT Protouch MG [ 1 ]

I deviated from my proposed new rotation by using the Occams Enoch to try it out with The Kai guarded blade. though little blade feel it worked well to clear my beard, and I was left with an excellent close finish.
