Brush: Simpson Chubby 2
Soap: D. R. Harris Arlington
Razor: Yaqi SE /  Birth Year Unmentionable

Aftershave: Mäurer & Wirtz 4711 EDCThe Yaqi SE SHaDE razor arrived today so it was loaded up.
Err! Kinell,
I loaded up the new Yaqi SE with a Permasharp Half Blade, i had a lovely slick, thick lather on the chin so set about the shave, it has been said that this razor is on the aggressive side so i was mindful and started off riding the cap slightly lowering the handle until cutting, There is plenty of blade feel from the off, although, its not unmanageable, I tried different angles all the way down to the safety bar, no change in the blade feel, a very smooth, comfortable, no issue WTG pass.
A quick rinse off & "KINELL" - DFS+ result on its first outing on its 1st pass, impressive.
Not wanting to push it i used an Unmentionable to do an ATG buffing pass on the areas that needed it - BBS in no time.
Rinse off, a splash of my Bay Rum AS which gave a bit indication under the jaw line.
It took longer to clean the brush and razor than it did to shave.
A nice post shave routine, again with some slight indication from the aftershave, but hey, i am really happy with this razor, its a keeper.
Stay safe and enjoy your evening All.
