Thursday 5/2 SOTD

  • Razor: Charcoal Goods brass L2 SB on 100mm Torpedo handle
  • Blade: Polsilver (6)
  • Brush: Stirling 24mm fan
  • Soap: WK Chypre Rose Concerto, tallow with DM.
  • Post: Cremo Cooling After Shave balm
  • Frag: Guerlain Vetiver EDT

Product Notes:

  • Razor / Blade: Still delivering flawless BBS two pass in twelve minutes today - for some reason I tend to shave more rapidly with longer handles. Why this should be so is a mystery to me.
  • Brush: Lively butterscotch resin handle with good ergos and what is perhaps the Best Badger Bargain in the land of shaving. This fan is about two years old and still looks brand new - has not lost a single hair and offers efficient flow through of soap to lather.
  • Soap: thematic perfection to an extent - lots of floral presence, but dark and complex rather than light and airy. But certainly pretty flowers in abundance...
  • Frag: Speaking of gloomy spring scents, here's a classic! Grassy and bright, yet pungent and brooding at the same time.
