Razor - Razorock Old Type
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue
Brush - Black Anvil Shaving 26mm Declaration B8
Soap - Zingari Man The Soloist
A/S - Zingari Man The Soloist

The RR Old Type continues to deliver a great shave. Zingari generated a phenomenal lather today, and this scent is probably my favorite tobacco-forward scent and one of my favorite scents overall. The GSB was pretty good in the razor, allowing for good glide, and the efficiency was surprisingly good after one pass. My face was conditioned really nicely by the soap & balm, and it's soft and smooth for the day.

SOTD Tuesday, November 10, 2020
Prep: Hot Shower
Preshave: none
Shave Bowl: Savanah Shave Scuttle
Shave Brush: Edwin Jagger Super Badger
Shave Soap: The Fat
Razor: Rockwell 6S #4 plate
Blade: Feather shave 4
Aftershave: cool damp face, alum block, cold water rinse, hyaluronic acid, First Aid moisturizer
Results: BBS shave everywhere except under the right jaw line and the mustache area which I’m growing for Movember. The Feather blade is smoothing out and while not as sharp as shave 1, it’s still plenty sharp enough to get the job done.
 
Tuesday 10 November

Today’s shave was made possible by the generosity of @Captain Pre-Capsize. I was lucky enough to win a timeless razor in the Sue Moore Auction this year. Scott added a ton of goodies to my winning lot. A sample of shaving cream, a sample of shave balm, a sample of aftershave, and kindest of all, a prototype for a new lather bowl! Talk about over the top generosity. Had a very pleasant shave with all this great gear. Really like the lather bowl. If this prototype is any indication, you should serious consider getting one of the new Captain Choice bowls.

Razor: Timeless SS 95
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (2)
Brush: Simpson Tulip 2 Super
Bowl: Captain Choice
Lather: Captain Choice Bay Rum
Aftershave: Captain Choice Land Ho!
