SOTD 29 January-4 February 2017

Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Astra SP [2]
Brush: Edwin Jagger Synthetic XL
Soap: Sapone di Paolo Arancione


Simple shave. Trying to go in a no aftershave February as balm generally give me oily face. And being outside US, I can't really import alcohol aftershaves.

Finally give a fair use of Sapone di Paolo, I always got sub par performances as I did not load enough, this time I am awarded with a thick, creamy and slick lather. Enough to protect me from the aggressive R41.

This is actually yesterday's SOTD and probably my last post in this thread for the week as we are preparing for and doing some light remodeling. The shave from this coticule finished edge was phenomenally sharp and smooth, probably the best straight razor shave to date. (Thanks @exployii )
