SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 2020
Another bright sunny day in the Philadelphia suburbs resulted in another brilliant shave! It’s always fun to shave with the first straight razor I ever purchased five years ago, my Dovo Special. After its touch up on the new Naniwa 12k Christmas present, it sailed through its duties in three, slow luxurious passes (WTG, ATG, XTG) leaving my mug smooth and clean!
The dome shave featured the razor I reviewed favorably shortly prior to its release several months ago, Fine Accoutrements’s SS New LC Homage, somewhat hyperbolically named, “World’s Finest Safety Razor”. The shave was every bit as good as my mug shave. The razor is quite efficient. And while not an OC like its namesake, delivered a very acceptable shave, no doubt in part due to the Proraso-produced C.O. Bigelow shave cream, really excellent stuff! I feel cool, clean, refreshed and smoothly velveteen!
