#SOTD Friday 16 June, 2023

  • Prep: WDCB.org Chicago’s Home for Jazz
  • Prep: Warm Shower
  • Brush: Omega HI-Brush 146206 25mm Synthetic
  • Lather: Chiseled Face Midnight Stag 1st of 10 samples (7 shaves so far)
  • Razor: 1940s #Gillette Gold Ball-End Tech
  • Blade: Shaving Revolution Platinum Series (12)
  • Post: Nivea Men Maximum Hydration Moisturizing Post Shave Balm
  • Post: Old Spice Classic After Shave Lotion

A quick shower shave with the ball end tech. I was a lot more careful not to add any pressure to the tech, so I got a much better shave than last time. I scraped some skin off the side of my chin. It was a bit red but there was no blood. There was no feedback from the Nivea balm - surprise! Great razor, great soap, great brush, great shave.

Enjoy smelling like a stag. I know I do. :)

It's growing on me. I like it now, whereas when it arrived I didn't. My wife says I smell like leather shoes.
