SE SOTD, Friday, May 24th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Romulus head 316 SPP, SE 50mm with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, mild to mid range depending on blade or shim used. Small head parts make for a nice nimble shave with excellent results mostly. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain titian mild(1) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity using this reason.
Soap : Ogallala Bayrum and Sandalwood, nice Bayrum soap Sandalwood scents with great lather qualities. This soap seems to work better loaded from puck then face lather than from bowl premixed it seems.
Brush : Yaqi "Cavern lake" 24mm tuxedo knot. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 : Ogallala Bayrum Sandalwood aftershave + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Yaqi Romulus SE with a Kai CTM 50mm blade.

Have some great shaves!

Schick Adjustable/Schick Twin (4th)
Stirling Iced Coffee/30mm Tuxedo
Mentholated Witch Hazel
Old-Spice (Homebrew)
Stirling Spice Balm
Old Spice Cologne/EDT

Absolutely wonderful 2-Pass BBS shave. Really need to use the Schick Adjustable more often, it shaves really well with one of their Schick Twin Bonded blades.

My third go with this SE and my third go ever with any AC type. And this was the best shave yet. I am warming to this format. Looking forward to trying some Kai and Schick in this.
