Nice shave set up...my Yaqi DOC head will be arriving soon, i'm looking forward to shaving with her, with my parker 24C handle, Open comb razors have a reputation of been aggressive, they can be, but any razor can, which is misleading, i find them very smooth & efficient,and match up really well with most DE blades, the only thing which i find you have to do with the parker 24C OC is use a steeper angle when shaving, which is a little awkward at first, but once you train your mind to adjust to a steeper angle when using the 24C, sublime shaves will be rewarded...I'll shave with the Yaqi DOC head ,as i do with all my other razors until i find my sweet spot , which i'll find after a few shaves hopefully.2/3/18
Brush - Omega 80265

Razor - Yaqi DOC

The Yaqi DOC is quickly becoming my favourite razor, it's smooth and efficient and produces excellent results and worked really well with Treet Durasharp which was incredibly smooth. Delightful shave today, reminded me why I enjoy this hobby so much.
SOTD 02/03/18 Had a bit of growth to shift so the razor of choice was a Rockwell 6S on plate 6, Personna Med Prep blade, Wickham Soap Co 1912 Cashmere (bergamot, basil leaf with white patchouli and oak moss), Maseto Shaving Extra Density 2 Band 24mm Finest Badger - the Talisker Dark Storm aptly describes the weather we've had for most of the week and a dram will be partaken off later...

I particularly like the whisky angle. I shaved once after a few drams. Only once mind, it was painfull

Having plenty of time on my hands this afternoon being snowbound I decided to use my recently honed and sharpened Rollls Razor. Thank you @Fergiebilly it is very sharp, ask my finger.
It is like shaving with a straight on a stick although a lot easier may I add.
Keeping the blade virtually horizontal to your skin I managed a decent 2 pass shave with a few touch ups without the loss of any blood I am pleased to report.
I do recommend trying one of these @Bazz they are an experience if nothing else.
I don't think the soap helped. In Insight I wish I went for a much slicker soap like Talobra for example as despite the blade being very sharp I still experienced some tugging.
The handle and knot combo is fantastic.
All in all a great nostalgic experience but I am far from BBS.. There is always next time and I think you need a little practice to get the best out of this razor.
Enjoy your shaves!
I think that is a great idea.Try Dumping the Guard Bar..
