SOTD 2-8 April 2017

Yesterday's:

- Alvarez Gómez cream
- Whipped Dog&VigShaving Silvertip 24 mm brush
- Gillette Contour
- Speick+Eufros Neutro

I was running a bit late and chose the wrong multiblade for the occasion. The Contour takes no prisoners if you make mistakes, and it bit me twice, upper lip and left jaw. This razor is to be treated with the same respect to are to treat a DE razor. In a hurry, the razor of choice should be the Mach 3.

The Alvarez Gómez had not seen any use for quite some time. I'm running out of it so I'll have to think of purchasing another tub. Excellent cream, great scent.

Today's:

- Cella
- Whipped Dog&VigShaving Silvertip 24 mm brush
- Edwin Jagger Kelvin+Astra
- Speick+Eufros Neutro

These Astra are just moderately sharp, in my opinion. I tend to use sharper blades (Gillette Sharp Edge, Polsilver, Feather...) but the excellent shave I got today made me think if I really should order a pack of these blades. Perhaps not the closest shave of my life, but definitely a very smooth one.

Friday on deck: "The classic shave". The knot is a Simpson Commodore X3 refitted into a whipped dog handle. Haven't used it lately. It was my first "real" badger. Ah, nostalgia.

I'm a little late posting, but this was a great shave.  Full out Unconditional Surrender!

It took a little shampoo and brush soap to get the MS brush in shave shape, but it was ready and did it perform!  I'm really happy with this brush and I'm glad I finally let you guys talk me into it.  Now I wish I would have ordered 2!
