Today's shave was using a new to me Yaqi Sentinel. This is supposed to be a similar copy of the Wolfman WR2 by spec, but I think its not even close. Its advertised as having a 1.55mm gap and 0.05mm exposure, and I'm quite sure that's not the case (shocker, I know). It was an ok shave, I got a decent shave from it, but afterwards on the alum scrub down there was zero irritation, and it was a pretty much mindless shave because I found no way to hack myself despite the advertised gap/exposure. I have heard of people turning the plate over to achieve a more aggressive stance - but I'm not seeing it. Anyhow, unless I learn otherwise this one's going to sit in the drawer or go to someone else - decent razor, but just way way too mild for me. 

Its raining today in North Texas and we're expecting snow later this afternoon. Thanks for reading, blessings to my brothers!
