SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 6, 2021

Up early for some medical stuff! My grandfather used to say, “this aging stuff ain’t for sissies!” He wasn’t kidding! My shave on the other hand was a delight! I grabbed the Genco 35 for today’s shave, and discovered that I hadn’t spent sufficient time refinishing the edge! It didn’t pull or tug, but the mug shave wasn’t as smooth as I’ve gotten used to. This may also be attributable to the shave cream! It definitely isn’t as slick as my regular MWF. The final shave required a fourth XTG pass to achieve the level of smoothness I expect in my mug shaves.

The dome shave featured my SS Supply V2 fitted with a Schick Twinjector, rapidly becoming my favorite of the injector blades. The noggin shave with the Schick twin blade feels almost identical to my shaves with my Shake Sharps equipped with two stacked blades. The two ATG passes yielded the effortless result I’ve come to expect in my dome shaves. I feel refreshed, clean and smoothly velveteen.

BLADE: Schick Twin Injector
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil

That's it. I am purchasing stock in Personna.

You don't see a lot of horsehair brushes. Are they scratchy?

Steve sent it to me for a talc brush saying most don't care for the knot for soap. I had a Turkish horse hair brush years ago from Best Shave when they were operating that I loved. I no longer use talc due to breathing issues so thought I'd give it a shot. Horse hair can be good, this one is not and will be re-knotted. This one is scratchy and I'm not breaking it in as it didn't lather great.

Classic kit, Danny! Enjoy it!

Great Rockwell shave, Joe! Enjoy your day and stay safe!

I’m on the same page, I’ll be using a different Gillette each day!

That's a Holy Mohle shave, Jeff! Hope all goes well for you with your doctor's visit.

Thanks Jeff!

Great New LC shave, Evan, I agree that Tabac lathers easily and is slick! I just can’t stomache the scent. Enjoy your day and stay safe!

Beautiful looking ‘Crat , Evan.

Cool-looking razor and photo, PierPaolo! Enjoy your day and stay safe out there!

Great shave kit, Dave! Why two AS? Is one a balm?

Thanks, Joe! Just a blood test in preparation for my biannual infusion next Monday!
