Gillette D1 Standard Toggle
Rapira SS
VDH bowl
Jayaruh 223 brush
Stirling Dunshire
African Black Soap pre-shave face wash
Today's shave was sponsored by my friends at The Shave Den. I forgot to soak my Stirling badger during my shower, no worries, I grabbed the
@Jayaruh 223 brush. A dunk in hot water and a little shake and I went to work on the Dunshire tub. After spreading it evenly across my face and a dunk in the bloom water held by a VDH bowl acquired in barter with
@RyX, the Maggards synthetic proceeded to produce a thick goop that glistened in the light. The Rapira SS was generously supplied by
@NCoxSTL and loaded with ease using the unbelievably easy to use Toggle mechanism on the D1. While I generally gravitate to the Platinum coated blades, the Rapira SS provides a nice, smooth, forgiving shave. I went with a typical N/S pass followed by a S/N pass on setting 9. Then proceeded to do an ear-to-chin pass...and just because, I followed with a chin-to-ear pass on my face and jawline only on setting 5. I am continually impressed by having multiple razors in a single, simple to use axe. I followed up with the Dunshire splash and balm to calm the windburn I got on the course yesterday. Thanks to the sponsors I ended up with a super smooth mug and a pretty danged close neck.
Have a great day, men. Mine has started out in outstanding fashion.
