SE SOTD- What was your tool of choice today?

[Ron R]

SOTD, SEptember 28th , 2021

Razor: Yaqi Excalibur Version 2, V2- Mfg 2021> mid range this model, has a little more blade feel were I placed the blade, you can tweak the blade a little because they allowed more tolerances than the Excalibur V1. I received a decent shave with this one.
Blade: Feather Pro (1) sharp & smooth with some longevity, razor comes with a Feather blade.
Soap: Razorock Don Marco , nice citrus scent with excellent lather qualities. Nice soap to pick a fellow up in the middle of winter.
Brush: Yaqi Chiantis 24mm, Excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Amici ( nice mild citrus scent) with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer balm(excellent + scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper= Excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur V2 with a Feather Pro.

Have some great shaves!

A great & fun DFS+ shave. All of the products & tools worked great together.

Off to the VA for poking, prodding, and whatever else they can think of. Needed the nice shave to set the mood. (My wife says I can be grouchy…Say What!?)
