SOTD "FREE WEEK" March 30th - April 5th, 2020

Wednesday, 4/1:

Razor - Razorock Game Changer 0.84-P
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - WCS blue honeycomb 26mm tuxedo
Cream - WSP Barbershop
A/S - Proraso Blue

Trying out a new cream today; this stuff is great! I took a little too much, but once I dialed it in, it developed into a yogurt-y, glistening lather that went on nice and thick. There was great glide, decent residual slickness, and good cushion. The scent to me wasn't a barbershop in the vein of the powdery/leathery/musty types, which I like, but was more of a cologne-y/hair product type scent that I also enjoyed. This is good stuff though; makes a terrific lather, and I don't usually see this much shine from a cream. The razor did its usual thing, cruising along to give a fantastic close, irritation-free shave. Love it.

4/1/20 - “Travel Shaving”
Newborn delivered last night, not allowed to leave the hospital until we are discharged, so some creature comforts can make the stay more pleasant.

Weber Polished Head
Feather blade
Semogue 620 Boar
Proraso Red Cream
Reuzel Wood and Spice Aftershave

I love the Feather blades in this razor head, very smooth shave, currently on the 4th shave with this blade. Maybe 2 more before noticeable degradation of performance is felt.

But, as of late, I’ve found the Reuzel aftershave in Wood and Spice flavor pairs perfectly with Proraso Red While I await a new bottle of Proraso A/S.

Congratulations!

Thank you! 4th and last child. This COVID-19 stuff has made for an interesting time at the hospital, but it surprisingly isn’t insane.

Your honeycomb brush looks way better than the photos WCS posts. Now I'll have to buy one!
