SOTD 26-June

  • Brush: Simpson - M7 Manchurian #OLDWORLD
  • Razor: Merkur 39C
  • Blade: Wizamet
  • Lather: Gentleman's Nod - Ernest
  • Post Shave: Gentleman's Nod - Ernest
  • Fragrance: Gentleman's Nod - Ernest

I'm going to call this my real first time with a slant, my actual first time was with a plastic slant which I handled abysmally. Not quite grasping at that point that exceedingly lightweight razors really just weren't my cup of tea.

This one however is heavy, I think it's been termed the 'Sledge Hammer', which I am happy to agree with. I had a bit of trouble finding the angle initially but once there it seemed to perform very well. Only hiccup was a bit of irritation on the ATG pass on the neck, but seeing as this a bit of a problem area at times I'm not not going to condemn it just yet. 

I'll see how it goes as I get used to it, but so far not bad at all.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers
