SOTD 26 April-2 May 2020

SOTD TUESDAY APRIL, 28, 2020

Today I dove back into my shave rotation, and pulled out my Cooper Monobilt. This was a relatively recent acquisition (about 7 mos ago) thoroughly enabled by the Cooper Razor Club thread at TSD where comments about the razor were so laudatory that when a friend at B&B offered me his in exchange for one of my two LaResche 61’s, it was a no brainer. I believe I got the better deal. I have two, the other of which - also acquired at B&B - resides in Philadelphia, 51 stories above the street where it keeps my nickel plated Shake Sharp company.

The razor is unique in having a hinged head controlled by the twist lock at the base of the handle. It’s an OC and an incredibly efficient shaver. For today’s Lavender shave I selected a Polsilver blade, and the same software as yesterday’s shave with the exception of the brush. Today I decided to use the Jayaruh Custom Rosewood Silvertip Badger #378, one of my favorites. Just another great BBS shave, two and 1/2 passes (WTG,ATG,ATG) and the baby was put to bed! I feel clean, smooth, cool, and as refreshed as 6 drops of M-Bomb makes you feel.
