Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...Continuing with the Yaqi DOC Head/Schmidt R10 Handle Frankenrazor with all my SOTD sets up this week using another of my infrequently used Frankensoap creations.

Out of all the Franken-razors that I have mixed & matched this one is my favourite. The weight of the Schmidt handle gives it a good heft this could easily be my daily shave razor as it's non-aggressive, but at the same time gives a comfortable DFS/ BBS, and pairs together with every blade choice that i have matched it up with so far. What more could I ask for.

An enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth cool and smelling divine. 😉

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. 😎

First shave with the new Rocnel Hybrid and it was very nice.

I little blade feel but a slight change of angle helped that.

First pass @3 and 2 for the 2nd.

Doesn't feel a special as the full stainless model I think the Hybrid will see more use.

The Executive Shaving shaving cream is good stuff and I should look into trying others from their range.
