Have a great day!

SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 2020

Well, my DX focus is over! I really missed shaving with my regular straights; besides, my DX shaves were exemplary. Time to return to a regular straight, and one that never disappoints is my C-Mon Special 11/16. For the dome I pulled out the Ronson which delivered a great shave the last time I used it. Needless to say, the mug and noggin shaves were a delight this morning. Both my straight razor and safety razor delivered refreshing, clean, velveteen smooth shaves.

RAZOR: C-Mon Special 11/16 (Mug), Ronson Safety Razor (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Proline B-20
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil 
BRUSH: JR Rosewood Silvertip Badger #378

Ginger's Garden White Ginger Blossom aftershave

With first use of the Yates, I was not disappointed. Although it seemed to have a lot of friction on my skin, it paradoxically was quite smooth (perhaps due partially to use of Ethos Grooming First Lather), and I got an easy BBS shave. The angle was different than usual, with the handle relatively close to my face. The ginger flower aftershave reminded me of arriving in Hawaii at age 21 for a 'romantic' summer, during which I worked at the uninspiring job of nailing together particle board furniture for pre-fab housing, the only Caucasian in a warehouse of Filipinos who just spoke pidgin English. But I learned the lingo, made some friends, and was even invited to one of their cock fights. But that's another story...
