I love brass razors and so have acquired a few. I saw the Yaqi Brass V2 Final Cut so took the plunge and ordered, it took only 9 days to get here even though I‘m guessing it didn’t pass through the Suez Canal. Anyway, apart from rapid delivery I’m also very impressed with its really excellent build quality and finish. It punches above its weight for its reasonable delivered price.
Lathered with Zenith synthetic and LEA and picked a setting between 2 and 3. One main pass wtg and another atg set on 3 gave a very enjoyable, smooth and close bbs shave. No irritation but but one small weeper due to my over zealous attempt to get to an inaccessible rogue hair
Have an enjoyable day fellas!

The more time that I spend using DE razors the more I appreciate the simple and mild and the EJ. A cracking two pass shave and an exceptional lather made this morning’s shave much more than the sum of it’s parts.Plisson synthetic

Cracking shave this morning, blade is usually a little rough on the first outing but it was remarkably smooth. Not going to complain in the slightest.
Smooth and smelling good, hope everyone has a good day.

Yes I find the GEM blade a bit rough on it’s first outing, smooth afterwards.

My Shave today consisted of...
Prep Hot shower with Signature soaps Shower scrub.
Brush Highlander LE2023 Badger.
Soap Mitchell's Wool Fat 2024
Razor Charcoal Goods Brass Stinger, plate 3.
Blade Nacet 2nd use.
Aftershave Jean paul gaultier Scandal.
Next time you order from Signature soaps pop a tin of shower scrub in the basket, it's fabulous and does a great job of prepping you face for the shave ahead.
I am enjoying the new MWF formulation as it always lathers up quickly and easily.
The Highlander Badger Brush just gets better with every use and I have found my Boar brush the same. Worth every penny and some.
The Nacet provides a lovely smooth shave especially when paired with the Stinger, I should really use the razor more often, I'm not sure why I don't unless it's because of the hassle of drying it all off hmmmm.
Anyway that's all folkes I am now off to break a few hearts by walking outside wearing my wedding ring. My wife is just so lucky she bagged me first and naturally I remind her of that every day.
