SOTD #187/2021
23-07-2021

Preshave: PAA The Cube 2.0
Brush: Shavemac Synthetic
Soap: Mäurer und Wirtz ~ Tabac
Razor: Above The Tie H2-plate open comb
Blade: vintage Polsilver Stainless (4)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Calani Purissima asb.

What a ride today. The ATT H2 head is likely one of if not the most agressive razor in my den, it provides a whole lot of blade feel (similar to Mühle's R41) and it's merciless when it comes to mowing down the whiskers.

Due to the head geometry/how the head bends the blade, it requires an extremely soft touch, as otherwise it'll bite. Therefore it's not a razor to choose if one has to catch the bus.

Nevertheless, it as a highly efficient razor and though the blade feel is pronounced it doesn't feel scrapy. I like it, even though the shaving comfort is a tad reduced in comparision to other razors.
Maybe I just might need to have some more spins with this razor in order get used to it better. An increase of shaving comfort might be a likely result.

The vintage Polsilver worked flawless in this razor. 2 passes only to get an almost bbs face feel. One nick (too much pressure applied), but no irritation.

Happy shaves, y'all!

Comments	Today I used a different razor in my rotation: Mergress XL loaded with a Lord SC blade. The last time I used this razor was back in late May and early June. This has turned out to be my favorite adjustable razor. The Duke 3 is one of my smaller brushes but still does nice work in making lather A very nice, BBS shave. Have a good weekend, B&Bers.

Razor: Yaqi Excalibur 50mm- Mfg 2021, excellent mid range, 1st 50mm blade razor I owned and its enjoyable with the Kai Protouch. Carefree shave today.
Blade: Kai Protouch MG(1) excellent blade, sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. One of my favorite blades to use, carefree.
Soap: Razorock The Dead Sea, interesting scent with excellent lather qualities IMO.
Brush: Yaqi 24 mm boar bristle- it stopped shedding months ago and it has turned out to be great brush, great lather generator, soft tips , nice scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock The Dead Sea AS with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea with 2 drops of HA.
Results: CCS,DFS, BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur with a Kai Protouch blade.

Have some great shaves!
