SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 2020
Well day 2 of the G7DC focus here at TSD proved to be a much more successful shave than yesterday on my mug, although I’m still not quite where I want to be on the noggin with this Paul Revere Type L which has proven to be a much less efficient injector shaver than my trusty Type E or Supply V2 razors.
My Nancy Boy Signature cream is just about depleted, although enough remains to complete this challenge. The new tub is due tomorrow so there should be no issues on that score. I’m really coming to enjoy using Argan Oil pre and post shave. The mug shave went very well thanks to some excellent hold pointers from a more experienced Feather DX TSD shaver (
@b1hart) which allowed me to reach velveteen status for the first time with the DX loaded with a Feather Super with one slight weeper.
Unfortunately, that was not the case on my dome. I found that I needed to exert some pressure to clean up things, but just couldn’t seem to get at the stubble in the valleys in the back of my dome resulting in a few slight nicks which my Proraso Styptic gel handled, but left me with a DFS++. I will continue. It may be the length of the handle on the Paul Revere that’s throwing me off my game. Many would be very satisfied with a dome shave this close, but I’ve unfortunately, been spoiled by my AC safety razors, my Schick Type E, my Supply and my Shake Sharps. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow!
