03.17.21
Pre: Warm Water
Soap: Czech & Speake “Oxford & Cambridge”
Razor: SS WR1 0.61 OC with Tibam “BBS” handle
Blade: Personna Super + Platinum (3)
Brush: Simpson Duke 3
Post: Murphy & McNeil “Claddagh” AS
Method/Outcome: Two passes plus touch ups. CCS-DFS

Today was a return to the tried and true.  The Duke is a solid performer, with a little scritch.  It punches above its weight.  The Personna blade requires more energy to cut than the Wizamet SI blades. Had one small weeper, but no need to call the EMTs and Count Dracula didn’t ring the bell, so it’s all good.  The WR1 0.61 OC has a very clear blade feel and requires care, but it sure can cut nice and close.  The Tibam handle helps a lot because it’s light and very grippy.  I am really liking the menthol snap from this M&M AS, which was my nod to St. Patrick this morning.

Happy Shaves to All
