11th Soberversary shave
Razor: Jernbolaget 6/8
Brush: The First
Soap: S.V. 70th Anniversary
Aftershave: S.V. 70th Anniversary
EDC: Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa
11 years sober today, and life is good. What better way to celebrate than with a shave that involves both nostalgia and a few favorites? Starting with the first shave brush I ever turned. First time using CA as a finish as well. As with all of my first brush handles it was finished by screwing a tapping bit into the knot hole and using a drill to rotate the handle so I could apply the finish, sand, and polish. I wanted it to have a bit more heft so there is a huge lead egg sinker epoxied in the middle of it, making it possible to break a toe should it fall on my foot.
S.V's 70th is one of those fantastic soaps that will always be in the collection, and the Jernbolaget was a truly happy find that justifies it's price with every shave. This is my second bottle of Colonia Intensa. Not because I used the first bottle up, but because it took a direct hit in a drive-by on my house when I lived in Flint. Absolutely worth replacing, as I love this juice.
I continue to wake up every day full of gratitude, and a fantastic shave soon followed on this particular morning. Not much more to say other than that, and I hope everyone is well.
