SOTD, 23 November 2019

On the road at a hotel for a state-wide orchestra concert my daughter is honored to be playing in tonight; as such in celebration of hearing some fine music later on, I decided this afternoon's shave needed to be as Fine a shave as is possible for me given that I've not got a Fine brush... but in fact it was better than merely Fine - it was truly a Damn Fine Shave ;) As triple-milled hard soaps go, this Fine soap really loads quite easily, and the lather is excellent. Post shave face feel is quite nice indeed.

Pre-shave: hot towel
Razor: Fine Marvel DE
Blade: Voskhod (#2)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Soap: Fine Italian Citrus
A/S: Fine Italian Citrus Splash

First shave with my new/old Cooper Monobilt! Effortless three pass BBS. I’m in love with a 90 yr old razor! Go figure! Did not do the dome today; it’s still healing from it’s fracas with the OneBlade. It should be ready for the Jones Shakesharp tomorrow. What a great shave! I could hear the Cooper singing as it mowed down my whiskers. Great razor! I’ve been using Suneko blades for the last week or so! They’re great! Sharp and smooth! I prefer them over Polsilvers. And price-wise, 10 bucks for 100! Can’t beat that with a stick.

BLADE: Suneko
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by scrubbing my face w/ PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Cube Preshave Soap
BRUSH: Omega Pro48 Boar
