Razor: Jokmae 20T (from Temu)
Blade: Dorco Titan 1/2 DE x2 (stacked)
Brush: JR #255
Soap: Soap Commander Gusto
AS: Soap Smooth Frozen Cranberry

This razor is a cartridge replacement with a pivoting head. It uses two stacked 1/2 DE blades. I bought it for my wife, but figured before I gave it to her I needed to use it to make sure she wasn't going to have any issues with it. The pivoting head was kind of stiff but I didn't have any issues and it didn't feel uncomfortable on the face, even with the fair amount of pressure that it took you get the head to pivot.
