Tuesday 10/25/16 SOTD

Another new arrival in the Den... this time thanks to the B-S-T here on the Board. It didn't feel that aggressive... but this time I'm a little tender around the neck area. I really need to use my SE's more. Loosing my touch... maybe I can blame it on the brand new blade:laugh: I used. Other than that, a great razor, with beautiful brass discolouration. Wouldn't dare polish it up. Just enough to make it nice.


$1025162107~2~2.jpg

Razor: Gem MMOC
Blade: Ted Pella PTFE (1)
Brush: Stirling 26mm Finest Badger
Soap: Haslinger Coconut
AS: Witchhazel / Stetson Cooling / Nivea ASB

Hope you have a great evening!!
