Doing a little catch up today, Yesterday a Filarmonica Muleta, soap was the superb sadly discontinued Savonnerie du Bon Berger rosemary lavender lathered with a 2-band Keyhole copy by Scott Lockwood, and a splash of Myrsol AB perfectly complineted the soap. Today, Heljestrand M.K. 32, soap was Savonnrie du Moulin lathered with a M&F finest, and a little ABC almond balm finished up. Two very fine shaves as the razors had fresh edges.

SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 21, 2021 When I was a young man back in the 60’s, and was pursuing my first wife, I used Canoe as my aftershave. These days I suppose it pales in the shadow of more modern scents by Dior, Creed and Tom Ford, but I really like it for sentimental reasons. I lost my girl in 2012 to metastatic cancer. We would have been married for 51 years. I’ve found myself thinking about her since this past Saturday was our anniversary. Thus my use of Canoe this morning. RAZOR: CV Heljestrand Model 29 (Mug), Gillette New LC BLADE: Rapira Platinum PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil BRUSH: MrEE LE Aluminum Handle SynBad Knot #005 SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Canoe EdT.
One of my first straights and still one of my favorites. Very smooth, very close, just right in every way And a special shout out to Sterling Soap for the very generous sample portions.
