SOTD - Sun May 30th - Sat June 05th

.

Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W

Razor: Filarmonica 14 EPBD

Brush: Simpson Cubby II

Pre Shave Oil: TOBS

Soap: GFT Rose

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

Skin Food: GFT Coral

EDT: Hollister So Cal

Result: I've been busy moving to a new location and I finally got moved in to my new place after a week. I didn't shave for a whole week and had a nice scruffy beard. The Filarmonica 14 EPBD took care of it effortlessly. Awesome shave.

Thanks again to everyone for making the SOTD such a wonderful and enjoyable place at SRP.

Have a great memorial day WK.
