Love that Kouros. I’ve not been using it much lately due to the social distancing. I can’t have the ladies all over me.

SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, Day 6 of Gillette Focus, JANUARY 15, 2021

Nothing like a traditional Fat Friday shave to kick off the day! I have never been a fan of TTO Gillette Adjustables, but have found that a Kai blade seems to elevate what was always a ‘meh’ shave to a decent level. Set at 9, the blade feel is decent and the two pass ATG result was a dolphin smooth dome shave. The old French Point Cast Steel Boker straight razor, while it doesn’t hold an edge as well as some of my newer vintage silver or Tamaghane steel Japanese straights always delivers a buttery smooth three pass mug shave, as it did this morning. I feel refreshed, clean and velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: Boker French Point Cast Steel 5/8 (Mug), Gillette Fatboy (Dome)
BLADE: Kai DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Rearden Razor 316L SS Tuxedo Synth
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with L’Occitane Cade AS Balm.

SOTD: First shave with this Voigt & Cop brush - really wonderful heft and feel - can't capture the depth of the handle in a picture. Hope everyone is doing well!

I've never been a frequent user of aftershaves or other post shaves products, but after discovering Clubman Pinaud I use it after every shave. I absolutely love using this stuff after every shave.

Razor - Rockwell 6S, R5
Blade - Gillette Nacet
Brush - Colorado Razor Designs teakwood 26mm tuxedo
Soap - Ariana & Evans Choco Cubano
A/S - Ariana & Evans Choco Cubano

Awesome shave. This brush is very enjoyable, and the Kaizen lather was exceptional. I just kept putting more and more water in it, and it could've taken more. Great glide, and the Rockwell plowed through the stubble like a boss. Long lasting smoothness and comfort.
