Shaving with my current “Kill-soap” TOBS Platinum cream, which has just a few shaves left. The Yaqi “Tile” razor has a SS machine finished head which does drag a bit, the razor gives a clean close shave though, I need to polish the head, that should smooth out the shaving experience.

  • Pre Shave: Lucky Tiger Liquid Shave cream
  • Brush: Fuko Shaving “Triffid” with 26/58 Cashmere [A]
  • Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street - Platinum Cream

  • Razor: Yaqi “Tile” SS head with classic Barber handle
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
