SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3, 2020
Great shave this morning on my second outing with the scent-muted Kaizen. A&E Kaizen is a super lathering croap with great post shave skin feel which would be killer with just a very slight clean, soapy scent like MWF. Nevertheless, 5 drops of wintergreen oil effectively neutralizes the scent and provided a great platform for this morning’s shave.
A friend mentioned my Colonial Silversmith yesterday in conversation. My dome shave with it this morning was much better than yesterday’s run with the Blackland Tradere. There are those who love the Tradere shave, and in all fairness, beard growth and whisker type definitely play a part. I now only use safety razors for my dome shaves.
So comparing dome stubble to facial whiskers is like apples to oranges. So I’ll qualify my last statement by saying that the Silversmith provides a much more efficient two pass (ATG, ATG) dome shave for me. YMMV! The Feather DX is really growing on me. It delivered another flawless three pass (WTG, ATG, XTG) mug shave that again checked all the boxes. I feel refreshed, clean and smoothly velveteen.
