A very unsatisfying shave today. The cream, used for the first time would not lather.  It just made thin, soupy suds. I don't know if it started out lousy, or is just really old, or if I got snookered. The musty odor makes me think it's too old. I thought I might have mistakenly gotten a brushless cream, but the label says, "Best used with a shaving brush." So down the drain it went.

[b]SOTD       MONDAY MORNING,  OCTOBER 19, 2020[/b]

I’m really enjoying my shaves with these early 19th century Sheffield razors.  Setting the bevel on this wavy Frederick Reynolds 5/8 was a challenge, but the two pass mug (WTG, ATG) shave this morning was well worth it.  The buttery smooth edge made short work of my 24 hour stubble.  I realize given the closeness of these shaves that I could easily get away with shaving every other day, but I just enjoy the process too much.  My Ever Ready Streamline took care of my dome shave leaving me with the expected velveteen smoothness I’ve come to treasure in the mornings.  I feel refreshed, limey-clean and velveteen!
