    March 27 SOTD:

    Razor: Gillette Toggle
    Blade: Sputnik
    Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
    Lather: Stirling San Antonio
    Aftershave: Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Unscented PSB

    I was a little rushed this morning, so the Toggle came out. Two passes and DFS. A little Whiskey Woods topped it off, and my day is officially started. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Finished with a cold water splash.

    It has been a while since I used Arko, but as always it provided a nice slick shave.

    An early morning, so no shave. I did figure out the issue with yesterday’s shave- the razor wasn’t fully tightened.

    The Baili apparently curves the blade so much that the spring force can mask an under tightened handle.

    Nice 3 pass shave earlier this morning. Probably could have got the soap a little slicker, but still a smooth shave. Love the scent of this soap, and finishing with the Bon Vivant paired nicely.
    I think I’ll finish up the NEW SC focus today. A few folks have asked about a comparison with the LC, and I’ll use it for the last few shaves of the month. Purely for science.
    Have a great day all!

    Next three days will be of the soap/brush variety, but they may not be the same soap, as the temperature will jump up a bit Friday. Kay sera sera.

    Sounds like a great soap, Rick, and your usual excellent photo and write-up as well.
    My goodness, what a stunning setting this morning, Clint.
    Alas, we had one more snow fall over the weekend when I was gone. Melted a bit and hardened into a nice sheet of ice on everything. Spring needs to come...
    Another cool photo effect with some top notch gear, Jim! Hope your day is not quite so rushed.
    Love that Darwin handle, Mark. Just an awesome photo.
