One of the best razors I have is the Star bar #4 lather catcher, how are you enjoying the shave with it?
Good to see a few others have one also, I was getting a little lonely, I know only one person who owns & uses one also.

SE SOTD, April 7th 2024

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm AC type with a Yaqi Milano 316SSP handle. Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Simple clamping system with small head parts. I prefer to assemble on a wash cloth in case I drop a part. I seem to get nice results with this affordable razor head, Yaqi Romulus is slightly better for machining and finish IMO, had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai Captain titian mild (5) Sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity when using the Excalibur.
Soap : Speick stick. Nice mild herbal scented with lavender + excellent lather qualities. For a mass produced soap it works well.
Brush : Yaqi " Ferrari" 24mm bleached boar bristle. Excellent lather generator, soft split end boar bristles hairs, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Works well and great boar brush, I bought it when it was on a damaged knot sale, lots of broken hairs but after that it is excellent IMO.
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 : Ach Brito Lavanda with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur SE razor with a Kai Titian mild blade.

Have some great shaves!
