Razor : Yaqi Mellon 316 SSP with a Yaqi Chippendale 316 SSP handle. Mfg 2023> mid range. Excellent design, machining and finish QC for a nice shaving razor. This razor works well with a slight shallow angle(riding the cap) for mostly carefree shaving I have also used a Steep approach angle and it works but not as good as shallow. The audio feedback is a sizzling sound of whiskers being sniped. Had a close comfortable shave this morning. Blade : Gillette Perma-sharp (4) sharp and smooth. Top 1of 5 tier blades in my collection. Soap : TOBS herbal sandalwood, nice strong scent 7/10 of great cream + excellent lather qualities. Brush : Yaqi "Black marble" 24mm 3band silvertip. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. I have 2 Yaqi silver tip badgers that just have this large bloom that occurred from 1 st cleaning, great overall brush for working my face. 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.
