SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 2021
Well I decided after yesterday morning’s left ear incident that I would steer away from rock music as a shave background. So today’s shave was conducted with Pachelbel’s Canon in D playing in the background. The pacing and tone of this exquisite piece also served as the wedding match for my marriage and helped to create a lovely background mood! The selection of two of my favorite shaving tools certainly contributed to today’s magnificent shave. The little Ronson safety razor is a great dome shaver and the two pass ATG shave gave testimony to its great chops, smooth and velveteen results that set the stage for my favorite Japanese straight razor, the R. Saito SK3 7/8. This smiling blade’s Naniwa/12k’s buttery smooth edge delivered a lovely three pass shave, and left your happy narrator velveteen smooth, clean and refreshed with a big grateful smile on his face.
