SOTN Tuesday
New Accessory Day - large cobalt blue glass mug for 99¢ at the Salvation Army Thrift Store.
I do like cobalt glass in general. Wouldn't a cobalt glass brick wall be awesome?



prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goat’s Milk with Shea Butter bar soap
razor - RazoRock SLOC
blade - Astra SP (1)
brush - West German-made "Barbershop" with APShaveCo Tuxedo knot
soap - Saponificio Varesino Stella Alpina Beta 4.2
post - warm water rinse, DSA “Pure & Natural” alum, cold water rinse
aftershave - Reuzel
music - streaming Radio Ndeke Luka

I needed a mug or bowl that would be able to hold a larger brush while sitting in fairly deep hot water without capsizing. This one can remain stable on the bottom of the sink while at least 2/3 submerged. That is still deep enough for rinsing the razor and enough contact area to keep the mug warm.
I was concerned about it being deeper than I like, but I figured I could always eat soup out of it if I hated it for a lather mug. With a bit of practise I found  I could avoid knocking the sides with the brush handle. It will be reserved for this brush, and for the very rare times I use the Omega 49 Pro (you know, the "Clown Brush"). 
Oh, and probably for the SynBad with "Blue Lagoon" handle, for "Blue Monday"-themed shaves.

All in all it was a pretty good BBS shave. Brand new blade, mild razor, a good soap, and a favourite aftershave.
