SOTD Monday June 8, 2020:
One day’s stubble
Pre: Hot water splash
Soap: Cooper & French “Fair Isle Harbor”
Bowl: Captain’s Choice
Brush: Paladin “Tut” in Harlequin, with 26 mm knot
Razor: Paradigm Ti SE
Blade: Feather Artist’s Club Professional (1)
Post: Captain’s Choice Venture aftershave
First shave with the Paradigm SE, and my first shave using an AC type razor blade. Incredible tools. Smooth, close, and simple. One minor weeper, which was user error. What a super comfortable and close shave! The folks who speak so highly of this particular razor are not exaggerating, at all. It is “one cool customer” as my Dad used to say. The Paladin Tut is a wonderful brush. Just the right amount of backbone, and the handle is very comfortable. The C&F soap is very nice. Mild scent and lots of slick and cushion. Not a dramatic lather, but boy it works well. Overall, 9.5/10, and would’ve been a 10, except for my error. Happy shaves to all!
