SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 17, 2021

Up rather early thanks to achy feet. The nice thing about TSD’s 30DC Crew is not only the generosity of spirit routinely demonstrated, but the skill level of our so-called “hobby” turners, both of whom put out product that I find to be easily equivalent to, and in most cases superior to product available commercially - one in metal (@MrEE) and the other in wood, resin or combinations of the two (jtspartan). I’ve been shaving almost exclusively lately with their brushes, and today selected the beautifully crafted Sapele/resin handle housing an Omega Pro48 boar knot by jtspartan.

Besides being great to look at, it sits perfectly in hand and is a superb lather generator. Jason was kind enough to obtain the knot from a new Omega Pro48 boar brush. This lovely brush always delivers and this morning did so again. This morning’s shave featured my Puma 88 straight razor and Eclipse Red Ring. The mug shave with the Puma’s Solingen steel edge easily cleared away my mug stubble in the usual three passes. The Red Ring is in the same class as my Favorite Gillette New LC and Standard models. Two ATG passes left me smooth and refreshed.
