Week of February 20 SOTD - Monday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger |
Razor: 13/16" Dubl Duck "Satinedge", Full Hollow, Spike Point |
Strop: 50/65 (Torolf linen/Premium IV leather) |
Überlather: Tabac Shave Creme + Tabac Shave Soap + Glycerin |
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) |
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer |
After Shave Splash: Floïd Spanish Blue AS |
Cologne: Floïd Spanish Blue EdC |
Results: Today, I brought out the Dubl Duck Satinedge. It's been a good long while since I had experienced her smooth edge. Just to eliminate any possibility of surprises, last night I refreshed her edge on the Y/G Escher for 10 laps with light slurry, finishing with water alone for 50 laps. I was very pleasantly reminded of the Duck's performance. Fabulously BBS and smooth. Of course, the Tabac über was an excellent way to prep my 2-day growth. |

yesterday, David (aka, nubskillz) and Matt (aka, thewatermark) came by and we had a great time. We exchanged notes and stories and had a blast. However, since we were somewhat short on time and we barely got to talk and experiment with the stones, we're going to have to do this real soon before the waters cool again. David/Matt: enjoy the Filarmonica and take good care of my baby. Let me know what you guys think about this shaver.
Have an EXCELLENT (President's Day) Monday guys:tu.
