SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 5, 2021

Today is the day before our return to Tennessee to finish closing up my father-in-law’s house and to receive our final Moderna jab. For today’s shave I selected my British Gillette Gold Rocket and my Puma 88 5/8. The Puma delivered a fine, three pass mug shave, and the Rocket loaded with my preferred Feather DE, a decently close two pass ATG dome shave. I feel clean, refreshed, and acceptably smooth.

RAZOR: Puma 88 5/8 (Mug), British Gillette Gold Rocket (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth
CREAM: Castle Forbes Lime
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH.

Blade: Astra SS
Brush: Semogue 830

Great shave today. The 830 keeps getting better every time I use it. I used a shampoo/conditioner on it the other day after a number of uses and break in lathers. I think it helped! I have been struggling with this brush for quite some time. Have a great day y’all!

Razor - Occam's DE, hybrid plate
Blade - Voskhod
Brush - Dogwood Handcrafts 24mm silvertip
Soap/AS - PAA First Night

The Occam's DE has pleasantly surprised me. The SB is very smooth but actually quite efficient; this plate sacrifices some smoothness for more efficiency. Great, long lasting shaves. I'm really digging this scent too; it's unusual, but I'm finding it intoxicating.
