SOTN Sunday, August 13, MMXXIII
(I skipped shaving yesterday.)
prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goat’s Milk with Shea Butter bar soap
razor - RazoRock SLOC
blade - Personna (1)
brush - Fendrihan Classic Pure Grey Badger
soap - RazoRock Don Donato
post - warm water rinse, DSA “Pure & Natural” alum, cold water rinse
aftershave - Proraso Green splash
music - a Spotify Surf playlist
Tonight turned out strangely.
First, I had a bit of trouble getting the blade out of the plastic dispenser.
Then later, as I was rinsing out my gear I noticed that the edge of the blade look funny, like the grind went crooked near the ends or some such. I held it up to the light and it looked perfectly symmetrical. I continued rinsing it and then started to dry it.
That was when I realized that I had
two blades in my hand.
All through 4 passes I did not notice the difference, and chalked the very slight extra drag up to having skipped shaving yesterday. And the shave turned out nice and smooth.
We could be Heroes, just for one day.
