Although not as elegant as DE, cartridges do work well for me when speed is important. Have a great one, Gentlemen.

Comments	The Wolfman WR2 SB 1.05 loaded with a Personna Med Prep blade makes for a great combo. The Rudy Vey brush is the king for loading any soap. Nice, rich lather and an excellent shave. Have a great weekend guys.

The razor today is one that came in the sterling kit that I bought for my father. He said that evertime he used it he cut himself and gave it back to me out of frustration. This was about 2 months ago. I was shaving with it the other day and realized it felt very harsh so I inspected it and the blade was very crooked in the cap, once straightened its became very smooth and comfortable. This is something I should have looked for before giving him the razor. He is still very much enjoying the lathering process and the soap scents and says that his shaves have improved using the soaps.
I will count the small wins where I can.

Have a great day.

Goodwill #164 (Can)/Feather (1). Yeah I guess Gillette could have stopped here and I wouldn't have missed much. I have to admit these first shaves with the Feather are better than anything I've used.

SE SOTD, Fri, May 21st 2021, #7 of 7 shaves & time for a change up, I like variety.

Razor: Yaqi Excalibur, Mfg 2021> nice soft mid range, easy to roam the face, a lot wider blade than a Gem or Schick it seems, today I applied side blade direction depending on what side of face for more contact area, easy to use under the nose area. Something things you learn as you test a little with a wide blade in a safety razor. #7 of 7 shaves and done with my testing, conclusion great daily driver, soft mid range IMO and a nice change up of razors to use IMO. Excalibur price wise was decent & was not expecting a high end precision machined stainless steel razor for just thinking about trying the 50mm razor realm .
I'm a Gem razor user and enjoy that SE blade system most of all the SE systems but the 50mm blade system for shavette shaving with a Kai Protouch guarded blade is awesome & hard to beat for Shavettes for great comfort & results with out drama.
Blade: Feather Professional 50mm(6) excellent blade, Sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. Pricey for blades.
Soap: Razorock Don Marco, nice different citrus scents with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi artic sky 24mm, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips with good scrub + 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 Amici (citrus scents) with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur 50mm with a Feather pro.

Have some great shaves!
