SOTD 20th April 2020: An intercontinental journey

SOTD20042020.jpg


Simpsons Wee Scot
Rockwell 6C plate 4
MDC Original
BIC (4)
Extro Sandalwood
WTG+XTG

This brush is a precision lather machine! I just wish it had a little more backbone..
That Extro is an extremely versatile and complex sandalwood, a true 12month scent.
And what can I say about MDC. No matter the brush, cold or hot water, always spot on lathering without having to load like there is no tomorrow.
As for BIC..scary sharp. 1st pass was flawless but when XTG, bang! Irritation on lower neck (my sensitive point). Will keep it for DE89 though, 1/3 the cost of a Feather and same efficiency.
 
Mon 20th SOTD
Soap Proraso Green
Bowl Green Nubs
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mountain Lake
Razor QShave Adjustable
Blade Astra SP 5th
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers mix
Proraso Green Splash
Great lather always with Proraso especially with this nubs bowl!
Shave was good too with razor and blade pairing but overly aggressive passes on the neck results in weepers and creepers. 3pass only WTG@setting6, XTG@setting5 andATG@setting4. Good post and aftershave. The price of chasing a BBS results in a rating of only 8/10
