@Phil Harmonica how do you find the Washpool, I have all 3 and believe it one of the slickest (plus the aroma 1 & 2) of Aussie made soaps for Kamisori shaving?
The name doesn’t grab me, but it’s excellent soap and it’s the shave that counts. I haven’t tried their #2 yet, only the #1. Going to pick up the #2 on my next trip to Stanthorpe. They sell refills (no jar) and I have a couple of empty jars.@Phil Harmonica how do you find the Washpool, I have all 3 and believe it one of the slickest (plus the aroma 1 & 2) of Aussie made soaps for Kamisori shaving?
Totally agree about the Yaqi Romulus handle, it's hard to grip and I also upgraded it to something more gripy, that been said I love the way the razor head shaves though.
Pre-shave: Hot flannel, Proraso Azure Lime
Brush: Maggards 26mm synthetic
Soap: B & M Taiga
Razor: Yaqi Romulus AC
Blade: supplied Chinese no-name
Post-shave: Alum block, Home-made aftershave, Nelum Sandalwood balm.
My daughter bought me a Yaqi Remus (Matt finish) for Christmas, but what arrived was a Romulus(Polished). I'm not a fan of the look of the handle and after reading what @Errol said about the lack of grip, I wasn't expecting great things. Halfway through I changed to another handle due to a lack of grip, swapping the one from my Lupo 72. Wow, what a difference.
This was my first time using an AC-type of razor and I was surprised at how different it felt. I was amazed at how smooth it was with the audible feedback being the only indicator that there was actually a blade in the razor! I'm really looking forward to trying some other blades to figure out which ones are my favourites.
