April 7 SOTD:
Razor: Gem Damaskeene
Blade: Gem Stainless
Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Aurora
Lather: Hemingway Supreme Shaving Creme
Aftershave: Old Spice Vintage
A nice, relaxled Sunday morning shave this morning with a cup of coffee and my 3 year old watching. Since I had a little time, and the sun was up, I took the setup outside for the photo. The clover weed is taking over, and there doesn't seem to be much I can do.
I used the Hemingway SC
@Primotenore offered up on the BST. This is the tub that had granules, which were immediately evident. I used a Tuxedo knot, as this has a fair amount of stiffness, to see if I could work some of them out. The lather worked up fairly well, but a few of the granules remained, and it is certainly possible that none of them went away. But the creme is slick and protective. Really, I could see this taking a top spot in my den, even with the granules. The scent is quite nice, with a lot of grapefruit to my nose. I got just a hint of some tobacco and cedar. It was very lightly scented, but I would definitely consider the matching AS. The post shave is terrific, and no PSB is needed. When paired with the Damaskeene, an easy DFS was had on two passes. A Sunday morning pre church shave doesn't get much better. I hope everyone is having a great day!
