SOTN Monday

prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goat’s Milk Original Formula bar soap
razor - Fendrihan "Scientist" Full Stainless with original Mk I open/closed combo head
blade - Shaverboy Super Stainless (8)
brush - Stirling 2-Band Synthetic
soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
post - warm water rinse, DSA “Pure & Natural” alum, cold water rinse
aftershave - Proraso Blue balm, then a bit of Stetson Original Cologne

I hadn't used this razor for a while because I've been leaning towards milder razors.
Also, the length of the handle (95 mm) prevents me from storing it on the carousel that keeps track of my razor rotation (literally and figuratively), so it's "out of sight - out of mind" most of the time. It was the first non-vintage razor I'd ever bought.
Open comb on one side, solid guard bar on the other. Seems like a perfect solution.

The top is polished but the underside shows the pebble texture from the MIM (Metal Injection Molding) process.
The handle is the grippiest I've ever seen.
Both edges feel about the same, somewhere between the 7, 8 or 9 setting on a Gillette Slim.

I had to use some styptic pencil on two small weepers, but I ended up with a BBS for my troubles.
I figured that tonight it would be wise to use an alcohol-free balm, so I reached for the Proraso Blue.
