SOTD "FREE WEEK" February 5th - February 11th, 2018

Thank you,Ron..try grating both sticks into a jar, they will perform on equal par to the Palmolive cream.

Thanks for the tip, Barry. I'm glad to hear about the Palmolive's performance.

I had an excellent shave with the Yintal. It will become one of my go to travel razors. Surprisingly good quality as well!

Good to know about the Yintal, Chris. When I looked at the AliExpress page my first thought was, "if it's any good it would make a fine travel piece."

Welcome to SOTD. Very nice looking overhead shot for your first photo.

This is a nice cream. Smells like a smooth light Bay Rum such as Mount Gay with a touch of tobacco

Nice indeed.

 

[ronweston]

If I'm lucky I might get six hours in....

Yaqi DOC/Nacet (2). Like it's GSK and PAA antecedents the Yaqi's negative blade exposure and small blade gap make for narrow cutting angles. Stick to the angle and don't over tighten the handle and it's a fine cutter, at least for this daily shaver a pleasant BBS shave. Going ATG in trouble areas no problem here. Head $7.51 delivered.

Didn't know Yaqi was doing a DOC. The price for the head is definitely right!
