SOTD: Tuesday, December 22 (Yeah! The days are getting longer) WSO "Signature" Simpson 1 "Chubby" Two Band Super Badger 1940 Gillette Milord Tech Polsilver SI (4) Floïd Blue Have a great day! The Milord Tech is surprisingly aggressive. Lots of blade on the skin, BUT, I never get that R41 "scary" feeling that the Mühle offers. The angle is simple to find and easy to maintain. The ergonomics are comfortable for my hand. Gillette manufactured a winner with this design. Just edited out "Lot's"

This was the Mother of All Menthol Bombardments - even colder than yesterday. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap is so frigid that it hits you as soon as your brush makes contact with your face. That scent is a delight and the lather works up so easily and beautifully. The Diana balm and the Arctique aftershave together delivered a freeze which could have knocked down a polar bear. What a wonderful shave!

TUESDAY My first shave using this large vintage F. Fenney 'Tally-Ho' Sheffield razor as I just finished honing it last night. One of the easiest razors to hone (absolutely killer edge), I was anxious to give it a test drive this morning. The result? One of the smoothest straight razor shaves I've ever experienced! I wish every morning shave could be like this! Wow! Have a great Tuesday, everyone! (only 2 more shopping days left!)
