First shave with the Yaqi Cobbed head, and even with a mild blade there was a lot of bite with the razor. It's far more aggressive than any other razor I have used so far.

Superb two pass shave this morning. The Tabula Rasa and Yaqi produced a lovely, rich lather, and the Rockwell swiped it and the stubble smoothly away.

Brush - Omega 80265
Soap - Vitos Green
Razor - Yaqi DE89 Style
Blade - Supermax BDP (3)
Post - Alum
Balm - RSC
Splash - Ben's Bay Rum

First time using the Yaqi DE89 style head and even though it looks like the Edwin Jagger/Muhle head, I found in the shave it was actually more aggressive, and be it for that reason or that I used a fairly aggressive razor for yesterday's shave or just down to a bad day (technique) I picked up the most weepers I have possibly done since I first starting using a DE razor. There was one at the join of my lip which was a particularly nasty one which took a while with the alum block to stop bleeding and there were around 10 other smaller ones! I'll definitely need to not shave for a few days to allow my face to recover!
