Sorry to be so quiet the past few days. Friday was busy with a final meeting and the drive home and lots going on around the house all weekend. Which brings us today which I am taking off from work...
December 24, 2018- A "Special" Christmas Eve Shave
Razor: D2 Gillette TV Special
Blade: Treet Platinum
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
Soap: Stirling Sheep
Post: Alum, Listerine, WH
Today's razor comes by way of the Land Of Misfit (Shaving) Toys. It's a TV Special that I picked up back in September or October but never got to because of various focuses. It's definitely user grade with very dull plating that seems very thin on the handle and totally missing from the underside of the tray.
Is it just me or is the plating on TV Specials especially bad. I have three of them and the best one has obvious spots on the handle where the brass is showing through and the worst one has almost no remaining plating at all. This one is solidly in the middle.
Nevertheless, it works like a champ and produced a DFS+, mowing down three days of growth. All in all, a great start to the holiday.
