WTG, ATG, touch ups with adjusted angles for my beard.
On my return journey to DE/Wet shaving I have procured some nice razors and enjoy using them all.
My favorite razor is the RAW RS-10. I could tell from the first use it was special. Effortlessly glides across the skin. I had to check on more than one occasion if a blade was loaded. The RAW just shaves so well for me.

Where’s Hondo been? I miss his SOTDs.

I wouldn’t hit the panic button just yet.  He posted a shave here on Saturday (2/22).  That said, if you’re reading this Hondo, I hope you’re okay. 

SOTD - 2020.2.23
Growth: 24h
Brush: that darn Rob + 26mm Timberwolf synthetic
Soap: Enigma by Frankincense
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Feather
Post: lather face wash, alum, DG Trismegistus, good oleo
Passes: 2 - WTG, XTG
Rating: 4.7/5

A bit unusual shave for me with this “that darn rob” handle. Very nice handle though the knot I fitted is not what I am used to. Found it a bit floppy and, the synthetic feel is not my cup of tea. Over all a nice shave.
Great pleasure supporting other fellow artisans.
