Today's shave starts with Klar Seifen Rasiersseife soap with a Yaqi 28 mm syn. brush. The razor: a Wolfman WR2 SS SB 1.05mm with a Personna Medical Prep blade. The aftershave was Thayers Rose Petal WH and Clubman. The fragrance was Yves Saint Laurent. It looks like I will have to replace the fragrance soon.

Broke out the "big boy" today. Probably the densest knot in my arsenal, a real wall of badger, and really generates a terrific lather. Nice, shiny, wet lather from the soap; I'm totally obsessed with this scent right now. Razor was again unbelievable. There's just not much else to say, the shaves with it are spectacular.

SOTD WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 2020

Really enjoyed my shave yesterday with the Fine SS New LC Homage razor from Fine Accoutrements. 100 razors will be available today for purchase on the Fine site. So today I loaded a Feather blade and had another VBBS dome shave. I'm starting to enjoy this razor. In order to keep moving towards my goal of 100 straight shaves I pulled out the Koa Wood Scaled Damascus razor from CobraArt Blades in Arizona. Although Danish is primarily a custom knife maker, he does make the odd razor now and then, and built the two I have on contract from my son for Father's Day. Ben reset the bevels and honed both razors for me after not being satisfied with the edges as delivered. He returned both back to me yesterday after honing and stropping them. The razor shaved beautifully. Right on the cusp between DFS and BBS, but I wasn't willing to push it on my usual trouble spot below my Adam's Apple with the straight. So I grabbed the Fine razor and buffed it smooth. All in all, a great shave leaving me cool, clean and velveteen!

RAZOR: Cobra Art Koa Scaled Straight Damascus Razor (Mug), Fine Accoutrements SS New LC Homage Razor (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE (1)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with the Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute fitted with 26mm Two Band Badger Ferrule
SOAP: Mitchell's Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Osage Rub.

First shave with a oneblade core razor. Weird razor. At first didn't seem to be cutting any hair so I used a lot of pressure and it started to work. Towards the end, against the grain didn't have to put so much pressure. Don't feel like the pivot did much and handle felt weird. Shave is ok but won't use again.
