SOTD Sunday 5.31.20
Pre: Hot Water Splash
Soap: Grooming Dept. Maleki (Thanks Dan!)
Brush: M&F 26 mm Finest Badger (Thanks Jonjo!)
Razor: Paradigm II Ti (Thanks Keith!)
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock SP Black (1)
Post: Nivea Cooling Post Shave Balm
Result: A close comfortable relaxing shave.
With a new Gillette SP, the Paradigm Ti-II can smoothly and easily produce BBS, but I took it easy today since I was out in the sun yesterday. WTG w/ minor touch ups. The Maleki has a nice masculine scent and produces a good lather with enough slick and cushion to proceed without worry. The M&F is a real favorite at this point. It was much used already when I bought it used, and it feels like it’s just getting started. It’s a 26mm knot but this knot “punches way above its weight” when you get the mix right and the soap starts exploding. The brush literally produces a three-lane highway of slick with a single swipe. Gadzooks, my face is just too small for this brush. (Smiling seems to help with this “problem”). The Nivea cooling balm gets ‘er done, moisturizing and soothing w/o excessive scent. Just a great shave on a Sunday! Happy shaves to all.
