Sunday
Hot water prep
Cocodrilo 14 razor - Palmolive sc- Silvertip badger - cold water splash - T&H 1805 ash - hot towel - Floid Mentolado vigoroso
This cream is the cheapest I have and I tend to use it for Uebers mainly, as it has just that quality to bring anything soapy into a perfect ueber. However, today was the pure Palmolive and I had to laugh a bit as to how easy it is to lather this cream. It practically lathers itself. The smell's good, the texture's good, the lather it produces is good and all of that for less than 3 bucks a tube…
A great shave with a freshly stropped Cocodrilo. This blade often outperforms my Filly's. It's my go-to blade for testing and trying new stuff. Have a great week gents!

SUNDAY
I wish you all a pleasant and prosperous week!
Hot shower prep
Razor: Torrey faux frameback
Soap: Cella
Mug: ceramic
Brush: re=knotted in mixed badger
Aftershock: Alum Block
Splash: Bay Rum in a vintage bottle
The Day? Overcast and +4ºC expected. The Shave? Well the razor is first time off the hones and needs some tweaking. Not quite the level of sharpness I like. The Cella? Why bother!
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

I always enjoy using this straight razor. It's nice to use my first straight razor and think how much my shaves have improved since then.Keith
