SOTD October 5 - October 11

[OpusX]

My last few shaves reminded me why I liked my Fat Handle Tech, it's smooth and easy. Yet, using the MR5 reminded me why I like it, big heavy handle. So I thought "¿Por qué no los dos?". Tech head on the MR5 handle is [borat voice] very nice [/borat voice]. Getting all cool and citrusy today as 85F is too warm for Oct in the midwest. DFS plus for sure.

Blade: Astra Platinum (2)

Lots to love from this mornings shave; the blade surprises me as its still sharp and super smooth, with great performance and scent from the soap. Post shave was very refreshing!
As for the brush; I'm blown away by the finish as it almost feels like a resin handle being super light with great fit and feel. I highly recommend the knot as its super dense but also soft and luxurious... A clear favourite already and truly greatful for @Graydog's kindness!
Happy shaves!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant night.

Great shave today! Initial shave with the Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary Special Edition. LOVE the scent! Seems to be a bit thirsty but I finally got the lather where I wanted it and had a wonderful shave.

Hope you have a great day!

So I found a Old Type in some under sink storage, and had thought about replacing the cracking handle with a brass one from WCS. Figured I should take it for a shave before that. After dropping in my in use Astra SP, I had quite a bad shave. I looked like a red connect the dots puzzle, which I then drew upon with styptic pencil. Just not my day there. All the menthol cooling made up for it.
