SE SOTD, ACtober 7th, Friday, 2022
Razor : Yaqi Chrome Excalibur with a Yaqi 316 SS polished handle- Mfg 2021>, tame mid range, interesting clamping design, fairly accurate blade alignment on this this model, affordable + I always get a close enjoyable shave with the Yaqi Excalibur razor head.
Blade : Schick p30 AC Proline 50mm, sharp & smooth + reasonable longevity for any AC blade I have used.
Soap : Tabac, different mild flowery clean scent with excellent lather qualities. Excellent post shave feel with this soap also.
Brush : Yaqi "Ever helpful" 22 mm 2 band badger, excellent lather generator, firm pillow soft tips, excellent scrubber, good lather painter. This brush was designed for those fellow who love the scrub, shorter loft + dense packed with soft tips = best scrub brush in my harem of different brushes. It is just a different face feel that is not like my boar brushes, I bought it on sale and still enjoy it once in a while and glade I purchased it.
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 : Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper=
Excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Schick AC proline blade. Very enjoyable shave this morning!
Have some great shaves!

Happy Weekend
First outing with the Supply SE and a new Supply Black Label blade. Suds provided by Canada Shaving soap and application of lather by SynBad in Aurora Borealis handle.
A heavy razor! From the website it is 92 grams, and the Asylum is 99 grams. I thought it was heavy.
The angle was easy to find, but I had to keep finding it. Most likely this is just me adjusting to a new razor after a week with the Super Speed and Overlander. Very very comfortable shave. I tended to overshave a couple of spots as it sounded loud like more cutting needed to be done and didn't get any irritation! That please me no end.
