SOTD JUNE 21st
June 2023 GRUME


Hello friends,

Today, to celebrate the first day of winter around here, I decided to go back to basics: Speick Stick (tallow) and AS. Semogue 830, Merkur Progress (5/4/3) and Gillette Nacet (2) complemented the shave splendidly.

Together in this great event; Miles in Bitches Brew.

Rating: 9

Have a nice day and great shaves.

A superb shave.

I'm certainly enjoying my new razor, and learning a lot. It's highly efficient in a friendly, but could be fierce, way. Initially I was getting a few post-shave, slightly pink-glowing small areas on my face and neck, where I felt the aftershave a little more than usual. Thankfully they only lasted for a few minutes.

^ That's another milestone in my "no pressure" journey. As soon as I think I've cracked it, something always comes up to stop me from getting too cocky.


Happy shaves guys.

Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Gillette Platinum (d6)

Lather: Barrister & Mann Presto
Brush: Yaqi Ocean (28mm)
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Post 1: P.A.A Alum w/ No-Slip Grip System & Dry Dock System
Post 2: Dickinson's Enhanced Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Astringent w/ Menthol & Eucalyptus
Aftershave: Barrister & Mann Presto

What a nice shave today’s was. Barrister & Mann really came through with Presto, I must say. The whole soft leather jacket with a touch of gasoline, "diesel-flowers" thing really is just perfect. The fragrance is complex and beautiful. And is most definitely alluring and masculine. I pick up on the Fahrenheit connection and I love it! Presto is another solid win for Barrister & Mann and I highly recommend it.

Such fine software is deserving of fine hardware. So with that said, I reached for the infamous Blackland Blackbird. I paired it with a reliable Gillette Platinum blade and had a great shave.

I did three passes, being enveloped by the awesome fragrance while the razor glided across my face with ease. It was a fun experience. I do want to point out that like Adagio, Presto has a little bit is menthol in it. Not a ton so don't be worried if it's typically not your thing. I didn't notice it all that much until my final cold water rinse. But let me tell you. When I did that rinse it felt so good! The cooling sensation felt so nice on my face. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I received this set as a Father's Day gift and couldn't be happier. Presto is fantastic. I dig the Fahrenheit aspect to it and it provided me with a really nice shave.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your shaves.

Happy shaves guys.

He Cal, Do you use this open-comb for even 1 day stubble? I have a very aggressive open comb razor and I used the same blade that you used in this SOTD (more pics here). It was the worst razor burn I ever had. That was with 1 day stubble. Even if I use the same combination on 2days stubble, I get razor burn. Not to mention this razor gives me loads of nicks/weepers. You see to be enjoying an open-comb. Something wrong with my technique?
