Shave of the Day

The Saturday morning shave is one of the best things life has to offer.

This morning, it was the Chiller two band badger applied to one of my favorites, PAA's The Wow Signal soap. Putting those two together was like lightning. The lather flew out of the tub into the scuttle, and there was so much in the brush that I literally plastered my ugly face with the stuff.

The first pass raked off the thick forest of scrub that was growing, but I then decided to change out the elderly Voskhod blade for a fresh Rockwell. The next pass and a half resulted in a really fine shave. Even under the chin and front neck, where the whiskers are like metal rods, came out well. 

A finish with a classic, Proraso green, and the day has well and truly begun. Now, coffee.
