SOTD Tuesday 13 June, 2023

  • Prep: WDCB.org Chicago’s Home for Jazz
  • Prep: Warm Shower
  • Brush: Van der Hagen Boar
  • Lather: Chiseled Face Midnight Stag 1st of 10 samples
  • Razor: 1940s Gillette Gold Ball-End Tech
  • Blade: Shaving Revolution Platinum Series (9)
  • Post: Nivea Men Maximum Hydration Moisturizing Post Shave Balm
  • Post: Brut Classic After Shave

First time with the gold ball-end tech. First of all, the tomato skin comes off when I rub it with my dry thumb. This razor is really starting to glisten. The shave was better than I expected - as long as I rode the cap. Otherwise it passed over the hair without much cutting. Minor stinging with my balm and some irritation, especially on my neck. Small portions of my neck are still tender, but this is typical since my neck hair lays flat - sometimes I gotta press a little. Not BBS, but DFS which is nice. I supposed the shaves will get better with experience. Have a great day, everybody!

My daughter (19) has been a huge fan for a long time, so I've seen and enjoyed several of the Studio Ghibli films.
