SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 2020
Another excellent shave this morning! VBBS above the jawline and DFS+ below. I remain in awe of the superb shaves delivered by my Gillette New LC, a razor that was neglected far too long! Remembering how happy I was with the Fine SS New LC homage razor, I will say that the original remains the one to beat! I hadn’t shaved with this razor for months, and had forgotten how efficient it was.
One pass cleaned up around the AA and below the goat! The Rooney brush was a delight to use. It is a face latherer’s dream brush! It has an indescribable almost paradoxical soft firmness that delivered the perfect wet straight shaver’s lather to my mug. And when required, generated a thick protective lather to the noggin. The head shave felt really good, and this superb, vintage shaving tool opened the door to my favorite feeling of clean, cool, velveteen bliss!
