What's new

SE SOTD- What was your tool of choice today?

Wed 6th October

Occams Oren & Feather Proguard ( 2 )
Changed the blade in the Oren, as found the Kai Pink a bit too aggressive for Travel Shaves.Today very smooth and comfortable, with a great close all round finish. As the Oren performed better than The Raster with this blade, I am now packing that once more.

Razor: Yaqi AC 50mm V2 Excalibur, Mfg 2021> excellent mid range(tame),Great design, great results & enjoyable+ affordable.
Blade : Feather AC 50mm (5) excellent, sharp & smooth + some longevity. Came with the Excalibur razor.
Soap: Speick, nice mild spicy scent, excellent lather qualities. Tripled milled in the stick variant. Lasts a long time IMO.
Brush: Yaqi Ever-helpful 22 mm, 1st use, densely backed, great lather generator, pillow like soft tips, good backbone + good lather painter. The Yaqi 24 mm 2band badger brushes splays easier than this 22mm, I think the loft could be 2-3mm higher IMO like the Yaqi 22mm Sagrada Familia 2band badger, not a lather hog + designed for a great scrubber first impressions.
It is early to totally evaluate the total potential of this little brush. Happy so far.
Pre-shave: Brush(Cashmere 24mm) wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock King Louis Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturiser lotion balm( excellent + scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper= :a17: Excellent shave with my Yaqi V2 Excalibur with a Feather blade.
