Shave of the Day (SOTD) New Year's Day Tech Tuesday January 1, 2013. First Shave of the Year.

​

• Prep: Brush soaked in warm water, face washed with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cleanser, luke warm shower
• Razor: Gillette Tech mounted to Alabastron Tortoise Handle
• Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless
• Brush: GDC Handle with Ace Shaving 22mm High Density Silvertip
• Soap: English Tallow Fine Shaving Soap
• ASB: Nivea Sensitive Skin After Shave Balm (old formula, German made)
• AS: British Sterling
• Post: Cold Water Rinse, Bath of Aftershave

I hope that 2013 is a good year for us all. Be kind, do good and change the world. You are capable of that. Happy New Year Everybody!

What a better way to ring in the New Year than with a Tech? The combination of the mild head and a sharp blade makes for an outstanding shave.

I cannot praise this new brush enough. Gary (GDCarrington) did a fine job with the handle, and the Ace Shaving 22mm High Density Silvertip knot is by far the softest silvertip that I have ever felt.
