The Yaqi Katana SE is a superb razor... I'm smitten with mine... Wonderfully smooth and efficient.

Soap The Goodfellas Smile Chronos
Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice 2 Band Badger
Razor Game Changer.84-P SB
Blade Dorco Prime Platinum 2nd & last!
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + The Goodfellas Smile Chronos
Good lather from the soap. Really nice scent.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was just ok. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes except during the atg pass on chin and lips area for a dfs to ccs result. It was skippy & tuggy but fortunately did not suffer any nicks nor weepers. This is the best area to determine blade quality. This blade not so good for me. Will be ditched. Excellent post & aftershaves. Rating 9/10

Thursday's Shave

Soap: Laugar Älvdans
Brush: 25mm Edwin Jagger Synthetic
Razor: Tanifuji 935
EDT: Chanel Pour Monsieur

First outing with the Laugar soap and I have to say the first impression was perfect , the scent is beautiful and subtle , the soap is a nice medium firm consistency lathers easily and produced a wonderful slick lather with the perfect amount of cushion, I maybe ran it just a touch dry but it was still extremely good. I dispensed with the Balm and Splash as a friend recommended I experience the post shave as it is meant to be and the results are exceptional it has lest my skin nicely moisturised and feeling great.

I will update more as I try it and the other one I have in the coming days and getting it dialled right in. @Blackmass as you asked me about it.
