SOTD 16 APRIL

Prep-Wash face with Irish Spring
Hot towels over lather
Soap-Van der Hagen Select
Brush-Van der Hagen Boar
Strop-Musicians Friend
Razor-Boker American Line SS St Louis
Post-Cold towels
St Ives Lavender, Lilac and B5 replenishing lotion
Old Spice AS



Three passes with the straight. Nice, clean shave. Couple of nicks, but Mr. Styptic to the rescue, and all is well. Still reserving judgement, but the VdH Select isn't impressing me much. It may just require a different water ratio than the Deluxe, so I'll give it a couple more shaves, but the lather while easy to produce is unremarkable. Scent is nonexistent, as is cushion or glide.
The Deluxe is far superior, and if things don't improve, I'll be chucking this puck in the trash and popping some Deluxe in this bowl. We shall see.
Have a great shave!

Last night's SOTD:

Vie Long LE white horse set at 50 mm
Gillette NEW with Astra SP
My own homemade vegan croap (unscented for sensitive skin)
Warm splashes

Great shave last night with my homemade croap. In terms of slickness and protection, I find it being as good as Panna Crema and Stirling, but much easier to lather. YMMV.

Stirling Soap: Bonaparte - Frank Shave Pur Tech Synthetic - Gold Dollar #66 - Myrsol Blue

Gold Dollar Day Two: Much smoother today but I think it needs to a tiny bit sharper. I should get that done tonight and have it on it's way back tomorrow afternoon.
