SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 2020

Superstitious sorts might be a bit Leary of a sharp edged single blade shave on Friday the thirteenth, but my shave was just awesome. The Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 is easily my favorite straight razor as well as being one of my oldest razors. There’s something about Sheffield cast steel razors, but this one shaves like a dream. My dome shave was every bit as good. The Colonial General V2 never lets me down. I feel cool, clean and velveteen!

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 Sheffield Cast Steel (Mug), Colonial General V2 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather Super AC
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: JR Custom Rosewood Silvertip Badger
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Osage Rub.

How's that Sabre (level 1 or 2) compare to the Vector Nick?

Happy Friday all! Today felt like and “Adjustable” type of day so I reached for the classiest one I have that came from a good friend in Kentucky thanks Dave! The Delta Echo Cubano Edition Slim made to look like a fine cigar and I do enjoy a fine Cuban cigar. Loaded up with a Polsilver IR.

Soap of the day the requisite Henri et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars of course. What heady a scent indeed. Smooth, mellow tobacco scent with some wood and cognac in there. If you have ever stuck your beak in a humidor and loved it this one is for you! Beyond that the soap lathers well and easily. Nice cushion and glide and I have no issues with the post shave feel. However, some have commented that it simply does not agree with their skin. To each his own.

Lovely two pass shave with a touch up and near BBS. Some matching C&CC balm and JV Dark Rebel and the trifecta of ungodly good decadent tobacconess is achieved!
