Razor: Yaqi TFC adjustable- Mfg 2021, excellent adjustable IMO, great shaves, old 1930's Gibbs razor adjustable razor design, takes standard blades. I really like this razor and yes it is not perfect but perfect enough for me to enjoy.(settings 3WTG, 3ATG, pickups3.5)
Blade: Feather(4)- very sharp, reasonable longevity. Great blade possibly for some mild razors IMO.
Soap: Yaqi Musketeer Rapier soap, nice mild scent, excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm cashmere Dandelion- excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber, great 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.
Post shave: Yaqi Musketeer Rapier AS(OK scent) with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion + scentless.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no weepers + no irritation= excellent shave with my Yaqi TFC adj razor with a Feather blade.

Saturday 2/26 SOTD- a nice, pleasant two-pass DFS, 9/10, no mishaps and a smile on my fine-feeling face:

Razor: Gillette Pre-war Tech
Blade: Silver Star (2)
Soap/Cream: MWF- I've probably used this more than any other soap over the years, load it like you hate it and then enjoy!
Brush: Vulfix 374 silvertip- I bought a more expensive smallish brush in the 1990s, it could have been a Vulfix as I have a few
Post-shave- rinse, then Caswell-Massey Lime AS- another hold-over from my days working in Manhattan

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
