Razor: Shield AC1 vs Yaqi Romulus
Blade: Feather Pro, 4th use
Brush: Highlander Chubby Style Boti Fan Knot Synthetic
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: A&E Monte Carlo Croap
Aftershave: A&E Monte Carlo Aftershave
Balm: The Inkey List Vitamin B, C And E Moisturiser Balm
Fragrance: Dior Savage Eau de Toilette
So the first fave off today and it’s not bought me any closer to a decision on the Yaqi. Both had a feather pro on the 3rd use in both have been used three times up until today. The Shield is more efficient and easier to use, but the Yaqi does seem to be getting better with each shave. Overall the Shield was easily more efficient except on the loose bits of skin either side of the Adam’s apple where for some reason the Yaqi always shines. However the jaw line, Adam’s apple upper and lower lip areas are all winners for the Shield. It’s really a razor that requires a shallow angle and could be great for a daily shaver but I’m edging towards it being a bit too mild for my thick, dark stubble. Tomorrow’s final test will be how it copes against the Excalibur. I think from memory the Excalibur will be more efficient so although it’s not as well made or finished it may make the cut over its newer sibling!

I'm hoping he's had a change of heart,if not I'll go direct and get a 7.5 Oz to make it worthwhile, judging by his latest Instagram post a restock is not far off

Goodline TTO razor
Goodline blade
Captain's Choice sandalwood shaving soap
Old Spice original aftershave
Prep was a warm shower with Old Spice Fiji bodywash. The Van der Hagen dexul badger brush had enough backbone to pick up the Captain's Choice soap without blooming it first. I lathered up making sure to use paint strokes against the grain of my beard to make sure every whisker was surrounded with lather. The first pass gave a good reduction with no beard apparent when checking with the grain. Second pass was sufficient sine the Goodline razor has a bit more blade reveal and the difference between clse shave and setting your face on fire is a matter of slight difference. Use this one with care or it will bite, hard. The Old Spice pairs well with the sandalwood and the pipe of Half and Half tobacco waiting for me out back. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and God Bless.
