SOTD: April 6, 2015 - April 12, 2015
Re: SOTD: April 6, 2015 - April 12, 2015
-- Tuesday, April 7--
Prep: Face wash with bath soap and water
Razor: Frankenrazor made with Hallmark top plate, FaTip base plate and Ikon Bulldog handle
Blade: Astra SP (4)
Brush: TGN two band finest in a handle of my own creation
Soap: Mike's Natural Soaps Barbershop
Bowl: Fine blue/white
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant alum stick and Thayers's witch hazel
Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Great shave! Mike's soaps are amazing and Barbershop is one of my favorite Mike's scents. I am not sure I will ever use another brand of shaving soap... Nah, I am just kidding of course, but I feel a binge of Mike's coming on. My TGN brush is excellent. It is very much bulb shaped (more so than others) and is just a pleasure.

Razorock Mission razor
Personna stainless blade (Israel)

This turned out to be a very satisfactory travel kit.
