Razor : Yaqi V2 Excalibur AC 50mm- Mfg 2021> excellent tame mid range, simple clamping design, very affordable if some one is thinking of venturing into AC razor formats, small head parts, I get repeated great shaves with this razor, could be a daily driver for a lot of folks. I like to assemble razor over a wash cloth for easy assembly of small parts. Top cap might have to be manually adjusted before final tightening.
Blade : Schick Proline P30 (2) sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity.(forgot to take down blade use packaging from yesterday)
Soap : Speick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi 24mm timber wolf knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Excellent shave with my Yaqi V2 Excalibur 50mm with a Schick proline P30.

Greetings,

(Face & head Shave.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...For intentional purpose i was going to start a month focus on the vast amount of DE blades that i have infrequently used, but i changed my mind at the last minute and decided to have another Injector razor focus week after the wonderful shave's that i have had with them recently.

Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together excellently...Another wonderful from the Supply V2 razor is such a comfortable smooth performing shaving tool.

Another close comfortable acceptable face & head shave with errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few squirts of Blue Stratos EdT to the chest & pulse points.

My face and precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
 
Sat 4 SOTD
Soap The Goodfellas Smile Sea Citrus
Brush Yaqi 24mm Atlantis
Razor Yaqi DLC
Blade Tatra Platinum 1st
Aftershave TGS Sea Citrus Splash
Nice soap! Easy to lather with a refreshing aquatic scent and a creamy slick lather...
The shave with this razor paired with the blade was very good. Crisp, smooth, and efficient in 3passes for a bbs/dfs finish. The matching aftershave is just impeccable...
