[b]SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 2020[/b]

The new C-Mon Special arrived yesterday, and like many vintage razors required a bit of a touch up. The edge was chipped requiring a new bevel set and the blade is not centering. As one friend (@Trigger) at TSD mentioned, after honing this C-Mon is now “wicked” sharp! What some might call ‘whisker-melting’ sharp. It systematically reduced my facial stubble in three buttery smooth passes (WTG, ATG, XTG) leaving me smooth clean and velveteen! I really like this razor. Still need to work on the blade-centering issue! When I began my dome shave, I remembered why I like the LaResche 51 so much. It plowed effortlessly through my noggin stubble shearing it right down to the skin line leaving me with a velveteen smooth dome to match my mug! Just a fabulous shave this morning to kick off Open Comb October!

RAZOR: C-Mon Special 11/16 (Mug), LaResche 51 (Dome)
BLADE: Polsilver
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Argan Oil
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme Balm.

SOTD Thursday 10.01.20
Pre: Hot Water Splash
Soap: GD Chypre Peach
Brush: Simpsons Duke 3 Best
Bowl: CC Ceramic
Razor: Timeless SS 0.68 SB 
Blade: Wizamet SI (5)
Post: Fine “Aquamarine” AS
Three passes

Result/Commentary: DFS.  The Duke has that signature Simpsons plush softness; the handle is effective and the “Best” knot does not disappoint.  Just a dependable, high quality luxurious and “classic” shaving brush.  The soap was excellent.  Mild and very nice scent, great lather, plenty of cushion.  It seemed to welcome more water for increased slickness.  It also provided a terrific post-shave feel; no need for balm and the AS was just icing on top.  The Timeless SS 0.68 is an outstanding mild razor.  Very well-designed and executed.  It’s heavy though, and I was reminded not to “land” too hard with it.  All in all a wonderful shave on a mild Fall morning.

Happy Shaves to All.
