My SOTD today was mostly about testing out one of my razors, an Eiko YSK 2 Yasuki steel, the razor had a lovely smooth 20K SG edge, has a little experiment I took the razor to my Nakayama with slurry then finished on water, the findings were interesting but not at all surprising, the Nakayama edge was smooth and comfortable and delivered a nice shave, the 20K edge is smoother and sharper, I would definitely say the SG 20K edge is my preference.

Great shave this Monday afternoon.
I did what I said I was NOT going to do. I purchased another synthetic brush.
Heck, it got good reviews. It was also a bit shorter in length - So it had a bit more backbone, and it would not be a painter.
I later found out that they are made in China...which bothers me, as I do not want to support that country.
But I got it for dirt cheap, so that’s a bit of a consolation for me. And I learned my lesson to ALWAYS check for the country of origin next time. (The name initially sounded Polish or Israeli to me).
Anyhoo...I pulled-out the nearly 200-year old Wade & Butcher, and paired it with B&M’s “The Full Measure of Man”.
A total face and head lather. No bowl today.
Great shave.
The brush is actually super nice, and the lather was exceptional, as always.
Super nice shave again.

What a great shave.
Very pleased with the rice serum and of course this version of the shave butter with the amazing vetimore scent makes this feel like a level up moment.
Of course the Stirling Stainless efficiency puts this shave in the Straight Razor BBS Category.Attachment 331398

Awesome morning.
Wifey was off, so we dropped the liddle one at daycare.
I did a crazy morning weight training routine, a Muay Thai workout, then hit the shower.
Excellent head and face shave.
Such a clean and refreshing scent.
Then we completed our plan and refinanced our home for a crazy-nice 2.25% interest rate. (If we continue paying our same monthly payments, even though we now have a new lower monthly payment, we will reduce our mortgage payments by 7 years)!
Nice!
Then I went across the street to the neighbors place and had a cold hazy bier.
Life is good.
