SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 25, 2021

Great shave this morning featuring my Victor Creazzi masterpiece, “Bone Mosaic” and my father’s Gillette Black Beauty. While not a fan of Gillette TTOs, two of my three adjustables, this Black Beauty and a Slim, belonged to my dad, a Navy veteran who served from 1938 to 1972. He passed at 99 in 2013. Both mug and dome shaves went uneventfully well, leaving me refreshed, cool, smooth and clean.

Great picture. Awesome aquamarine theme, and the granite base goes surprisingly well with the color scheme. Beautiful brush, too.

Another BBS shave with the Wilkinson SE razor, but it felt like more strokes were required for it. And maybe I'm just set in my ways, but even though the razor's light weight is easier for me to manage with my progressive arm weakness and tremor, I still miss the feel of a DE razor's weight in my hand. The software was wonderful.
