SOTD 26 January-1 February 2020

Citrus Sunday
This was a superb shave. I love the scent of grapefruit, but I hate the flavor. 42 goes pretty well, and this was the last of the splash, so I might need to replace it this year if it comes back.

The dome shave is on hiatus until Tuesday, my oldest son’s 45th birthday. The entire clan is getting together for the event. We have reservations at Tallulah’s Table in Kennett Square, PA. I’ll need a good noggin scrape for the event. Hopefully, the dome will be healed and ready by then.

The face shave today turned out to be a delightful two pass BBS. The MWF layer provided its usual comfortable, slick cushion for the new razor which effortlessly swept away my whiskers. Great shave! I feel clean and refreshed!

I've really enjoyed shaving with this new razor, but it’s time to stop. I'm awaiting delivery of a Colonial General V2 and am on the waitlist for a Wolfman. I don’t even know if I will follow through on the latter. My RR SS Lupo is pretty awesome and don’t know if the difference from a Wolfman after which it’s modeled is worth pursuing. Modern artisan razors all seem to be good! I don’t own a Timeless or a Charcoal Goods razor, but know I would like them. I just don’t feel that interested in acquiring them. Does this mean that RAD has run its course? Probably not, but at present I’m content to shave with the 12 razors in my regular rotation. They are:

1. Colonial Silversmith
2. Seki AS-D2
3. Blackland Vector
4. RR SS Lupo
5. Karve D-OC
6. Occam’s DE
7. H&S No75
8. GE Jones Shake Sharp
9. Fine Marvel
10. Cooper Monobilt
11. Gibbs Adjustables #15 & 17
12. LaResche 77

RAZOR: H&S No75
BLADE: Wizamet
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Cube Preshave Soap
BRUSH: Jayaruh Custom Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by ThayersLavender WH and finished with Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite AS Splash
