SOTD 01/01/2020

Well vintage shave a day is over, and with the new year, I’ll be focusing on some of my favorite razors. I’m kicking this month off with one of me apex shavers, the Seki AS-D2. Many have stated that this razor is too mild! In the spirit of ‘Technique Trumps Tools’, I would respectfully disagree. My first few shaves with the razor led me to the same conclusion! I have since learned that the razor has a somewhat narrow sweet spot, but when dialed in correctly with a Feather blade, there is no razor I own that shaves closer! Two passes over my well refrigerated face and dome - PAA Menthol Preshave Cube coupled with Chiseled Face Cryogen - resulted in a smooooth, bloodless, refreshingly coool shave to launch my new monthly focus! It will be a weekly razor focus this month with alternating software. Happy New Year to all! 

RAZOR: Seki AS-D2
BLADE: Feather
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Preshave Cube
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
SOAP: Chiseled Face Cryogen
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Chiseled Face Cryogen AS Splash

Another great BBS shave.  The blade was very smooth, like its first use.  The soap made wonderful lather.
