SOTD SUNDAY, MAY 31, 2020

Today marks the fourth shave with the new-to-me SS Supply V2 razor, and my final shave of the month. Although I usually like Schick B-20 Prolines in my injectors, I’m now on my third shave with a modified AC blade, a Feather Super in it. And to tell the truth, the prior two shaves with it have been spectacular. I’m really growing to like this razor as a head shaver, and the face shaves are every bit as good. If I weren’t such a creature of habit, I could get away with shaving every other day with this gear. I just enjoy shaving too much to ever do so.

For today’s shave I selected the special synth knot ferrule for my Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute brush. It should probably be renamed as the Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute Handle, as I have four different knot ferrules for it - a 24mm Synth used this morning, a 26mm Boar used yesterday, a 26mm Two Band Badger and a 24mm Hybrid Badger Boar. It’s like having 4 brushes in one. Software consisted of Stirling Glacial Obsidian Soap enhanced with 3 drops of M-Bomb along with its matching AS Splash.

The shave began with my usual cold waterrinse following an early shower. The Synth knot ferrule on the Alpha Shaving handle whippedup a thick, glistening and slick lather from the Glacial Obsidian soap generating a delightfulanise scent that brought back pleasantchildhood memories of my Italiangrandmother’s fresh anisette cookies. TheSupply razor’s modified Feather Super bladeswept away the minimal stubble remainingfrom yesterday’s shave with its usual aplomb. One pass (ATG) was all it took along with some selective buffing to return me to velveteen cue ball smoothness. I feel clean, cool, velveteen smooth and pleasantly refreshed.
