    Thank you Jason. You’re too kind. My photography skills are more like my CT. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

    SOTD March 6, 2019

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: PAL Adjustable
    Brush: JR #142 black badger
    Soap: Stirling Green
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Green aftershave

    Easy shave with this combination. Stirling Green was a Black Friday release. Wonderful scent based on Polo Green cologne. The lather was excellent as usual and I'm getting better with the PAL Adjustable. Two tiny weepers on my chin area that cleared up easily. Must have lost the angle there for a second. But a nice shave in the end.

    Have a great day!

    It was an interesting shave this morning. While shaving with the open blade shavette, I started thinking about shave angles. One of the discussions about open blades is the ability to fine tune the shave to your personal preferences. And usually that discussion says something the the effect of the steeper the angle of the blade, the more aggressive. So in my head, I wondered: is this really more aggressive? Just because I can feel the blade more, and perhaps it gets more uncomfortable, does this make it more aggressive? It seems this is really a discussion on efficiency, not aggressiveness. I guess the question I have, and I would like to throw out to the 30DC (where I know the discussion will stay fun and civil): what really is the definition of aggressive when we talk about razors?

    Since I wasn't focused on the actual shave at all, but more of angles, I ended with a one pass high grade CCS. Sometimes, to me at least, there is a lot of satisfaction in getting a more than acceptable shave from one pass. Since was almost surprised when I finished my shave this morning, it felt natural to call this good.

    It was also my first use of the soap, which is completely different in scent from anything else I have. To me, there is some apricot in the scent, even though it isn't listed. This must be the way the orange blossom, honey and vanilla come together. There is definitely a middle eastern vibe to it as well, with a bit of woodiness in the end. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this, but I love it. I am about to pass by SWMBO to see about her approval on my way out the door. I hope everyone has a great day!
