March 3 SOTD:
Razor: Parker SRX
Blade: Shark
Brush: PAA Starcraft
Lather: Oleo New City
Aftershave: Oleo New City
Today was my first shave a while with an open blade, and the first one with the SRX (thanks to
@wristwatchb). I have another razor, the Classic Samurai, which is very similar in design but definitely not made as well. This razor has some nice heft to it. The Shark half blades came with the razor, so they got the call. Two passes and DFS, my a low grade DFS on my neck, but still a successful shave.
I also used this soap for the first time, which is my first Oleo soap. Is the the Canard base, so it has duck fat and is definitely slick. It also has a great post shave feel. I got a nice, glossy lather with relative ease then thinned it out a bit for the SRX. The scent has a lot of raspberry up front, but when lathered, the leather really comes through. There is maybe a hint of some florals, and overall this is a terrific scent. I have tried a few dupes of Tom Ford scents (this is based on Tuscan Leather), and I find I like them quite a bit. This is close to Haverford on my favorites list, even though it is quite a bit different in scent. The matching AS has a but more berry scent that takes a bit to dry down, but it is also great.
This was a great Sunday morning shave before heading to church. I hope everyone has a great and blessed day.
