Razor : Yaqi 2nd generation 316SSP head with my 2nd purchased Yaqi Chippendale 316SSP handle (Darwin handle looking, close to resemblance to that time era for "The Grande shave King razor",1940's existence) I think if this Yaqi Mellon 316SSP head was on the razor at the time of "The Grande shave king" it would still be in business IMO. Mr Mellon(creator of the Grande shave King) had other variations but always very mild it seems!
Mfg 2023>, mid range. What a nice well machined and finished razor head with excellent QC. The audio feed back is a nice sizzling sound of snipped whiskers is best way to describe it. The razor is delightful to use and performs well + results do no lie. Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gillette Permasharp(2) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scent with some of the best lather qualities I have used in hard soaps.
Brush : Yaqi "Red Zebra" 26 mm snow leopard synthetic. Excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very nice face feel to this brush + this brush impressed me to purchase other 26mm synthetic brushes.
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 : Nivea refreshing aftershave lotion + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi Mellon razor with a Permasharp blade. Very enjoyable shave.
Have some great shaves!
