SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

Excellent lime shave this morning! I’m a very basic scent guy - lime, spice, peppermint and sandalwood are about all these barbarian nostrils of mine are capable of discerning. SWMBO never complains about lime or peppermint. So that’s really all I use, and I do it sparingly due to her fragrance allergy. My son’s straight razor collection (well over 100) consists of 80% Japanese, 10% Engstrom and Filarmonica, and the last 10% Reynolds, Rogers, and assorted other early UK makers (Bengall?). He helped me pick the NOS Diamond Hayashi 6/8 razor I shaved with this morning, and honed it for me exclusively on jnats. The model is called a Nigiri Tokusen (2 finger opening). If there’s such a thing as melting whiskers, that’s what I experienced. One very minor tremor-related ear nick, but otherwise a wonderful extremely close mug shave. I skipped the dome shave this morning. I find myself continually feeling my face, amazed at the closeness of this shave.

When you need to help mechanics, you use it in superlathering.
When you need to help smell, do you use it in superfragrancing?
