SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 2020
The new C-Mon Special arrived yesterday, and like many vintage razors required a bit of a touch up. The edge was chipped requiring a new bevel set and the blade is not centering. As one friend (@Trigger) at TSD mentioned, after honing this C-Mon is now “wicked” sharp! What some might call ‘whisker-melting’ sharp. It systematically reduced my facial stubble in three buttery smooth passes (WTG, ATG, XTG) leaving me smooth clean and velveteen! I really like this razor. Still need to work on the blade-centering issue! When I began my dome shave, I remembered why I like the LaResche 51 so much. It plowed effortlessly through my noggin stubble shearing it right down to the skin line leaving me with a velveteen smooth dome to match my mug! Just a fabulous shave this morning to kick off Open Comb October!

Razor: Everready Streamline 2nd Generation- Mfg 1949-53, upper mid range, light touch gives excellent results, I find it one of my harder razors to master. One of the nicest eye candy razors IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) excellent blade in all strengths that make a blade.
Soap: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore- nice mild Tabaco vanilla scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Noir 400 Plissoft syn- geat brush for scrubbing with soft tips reminds me of my Omega boar brush.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar Cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Witch Hazel with a dollop of AVON True Gent balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =
Excellent shave with my ER 2nd Gen Streamline razor.
Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

Razor - Razorock Mamba 70
Blade - Gillette 7 O'clock Green
Brush - Mojo Handcrafts black hat 26mm tuxedo
Soap - Phoenix & Beau Oberon
A/S - Supply Arenella Coast
Awesome shave. The brush handle is super comfortable and the Maggard knot in it is a fantastic version of the tuxedo, with ready splay and good backbone. Paints and scrubs perfectly. P&B make very good soaps. This one has a great scent that I find hard to describe: kind of dark but not very, with some sort of evergreen resin note. I really enjoyed it, and it lathered up great. Another slick shave with this outstanding RR offering. Super smooth and ready to go!
