Week of November 14 SOTD - Thursday
A Coticule Shave
| Pre-Shave: Hot shower |
| Razor: 11/16" C-Mon HF, Hollow, Spike Point |
| Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger |
| Überlather: Trumper's Violet Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin |
| Astringent: Thayer's Witch hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) |
| Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer |
| Cologne: 1967 Guerlain Habit Rouge |
| Result: Last night, in my continuing experimentation with edges, I honed my C-Mon with my "unknown quarry" Coticule bout. This was to experience the shave I get from this stone in comparison to the JNat. You're familiar with the thread, but you can read about the details of last night's honing experiment HERE. The "Coticulized" (that's my new word for the day ;)) C-Mon delivered a wonderful shave, but I prefer the edge I get from a JNat. The überlather today was as wonderful as ever and I love the scent of violet :)...it subdues the soapy scent of MWF and complements its moisturizing properties. Quite a dynamic pair these two, I must say. |
