SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 2, 2021

Inspired by a number of TSD amigos who declared yesterday Micromatic Monday, I decided to pull mine out and have a go! The JT Sapele/Resin handled Omega Pro48 Boar, rapidly becoming one of my favorite brushes, whipped up a prodigious amount of MWF lather. Since I own both a MMOC and a MMCP, I decided on the MMCP for today’s dome shave, and loaded up a fresh Pella PTFE Gem blade. The ClogPruf model with its exaggerated lather channels was designed to remedy the complaints received about its Open Comb model predecessor. The two pass ATG noggin shave was exquisitely close, which is the norm for both models. The mug shave featured my svelte Simmons Hardware 4/8. I really enjoyed shaving with this little vintage beauty. Three passes later delivered a cool, clean, velveteen close result.

Wow, that brush so matches the soap/AS design. Awesome!

I hope CaD314 doesn't miss this one.

I fell in love with a Grizzly Bay brush similar to this one that I missed out on. I reached out to Grizzly Bay and asked if he would make me one like the one I missed. Happy accident that it matches so well with the Malbolge labeling.

Yesterday’s shave was just too close to allow much of a shave today.  Still, I went through with it for the sake of the ritual (and the benefits the hobby provides, beyond just a nice shave).  Nice scent on the soap.   Nice well-balanced and mild razor.  Wonderful light and plush brush.  The whole thing was nice, simple, straightforward, and calming.  As has already been said by many others: Sometimes, it’s the journey, and not just the destination.

Happy Shaves To All.
