Week of August 8 SOTD - Tuesday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower + fresh lemon juice + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme |
Razor: 7/8" Filarmonica Doble Temple #14, Square Point |
Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip Badger, Olive wood handle |
Creme/Überlather: AOS Lavender Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Mirrh Soap + Glycerin |
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (lavender, no alcohol) |
Post-shave: Trumper's Limes Skin Food |
Cologne: Penhaligon Endymion |
Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Replenishing Facial Moisturizer |
Result: This morning, I decided to add a new regimen to my routine - lemon juice. It worked wonders. Aside from its many beneficial qualities, the acidity helped smooth the skin and soften the beard further. Then came the lather workup phase with the Thäter...boy, what a treat! Pure, unadulterated luxury. I loved the feel of these bristles on my face. Then came the "Pièce de la résistance" - the Fili DT 14. The singing of this blade on the strop (on Premium IV Bridle) was enough to tell me that this beast meant business. And, what a shave ...smoooooth as butter. I would say this razor is equivalent to an earthquake for beards - when it came, whiskers fell! Plain and simple. |
