SE Sunday shave, January 28th 2024

Razor : Yaqi SE Excalibur with a Yaqi Milano 316 SSP- Mfg 2021>, mild to tame mid range. Small head parts make it interesting to assemble, I assemble on a wash seems to be safest. Simple clamping system make for a great secure blade. One of my favorite SE razors.
Blade : Schick proline(2) sharp and smooth + reasonable longevity.
Soap : Ogallala Bayrum sage and cedar, nice Bayrum scent with great lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Mountain lake" 24mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. One of my better badgers that I enjoy + great handle.
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 + Saddle wood splash some clove scent + 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 Yaqi Excalibur with a Schick proline blade.

Have some great shaves!

I don't know how you make that ice-cream cone kind of lather. Always reminds me of the scene where Kato makes a real good Latte in The Green Hornet

Hey, thanks for your kind words! It's all in the wrist...and fingers! Head to the Lather thread for more info...

1st use of this rare & unique soap & splash. Can't seem to find any info on the set even at The Club site. The lather was terrific and the scent... citrusy-ale-like. Love it...especially the bottle...!!
This razor provided an excellent shave. Refreshed on the 0.1um balsa and HBA...the edge was smooth and crisply keen...
