    Default SOTD 11-5-2010

    Prep: Hot towell
    Scuttle: SRD
    Brush: TGN Custom Silvertip Premium A
    Uberlather: J.M. Fraser Mosswood cream, SRD Lime soap, 5 drops glycerin
    Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle 25/50
    Razor: Kobar "Souvenir of Bremerhaven"
    Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman
    Result: The Mosswood and Lime are a perfect match. The lather was very rich and creamy with an intoxicating scent. The razor was stropped to perfection and the sharpness of the blade was of true surgical precision. Blade welded to flesh and the sound of departed whiskers filled the air. I start thinking to myself "You have finally got this down, it is almost effortless". Well, let's just say that pride truly comes before the fall as I gave myself a nice slice on the chin...it's always hard to finish the shave at this point, I did, but not very close, not very clean, and certainly not "effortless". I finished with some Styptic and Pinaud Clubman as it compliments the Mosswood/lime combo very nicely. Even with the slice, the journey this morning was still one that I would take again.

    Have a great Friday gentlemen, you've earned it
