SOTD by u/whosgotthepudding

7/6/23

• Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/ 24mm Silvertip
• Razor: C.V. Heljestrand MK 31 11/16 Full Hollow
• Lather: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Black Watch
• Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Black Watch Aftershave Splash
• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Black Watch EdT

Todays shave goes out to u/gcgallant (whose razor I was not about to attempt to stack). He sent me this Heljestrand to try out, and for my final shave before sending it home, I couldn't think of a better trick.

Spearhead holds a special place in my heart, as they were the first artisan with a complex scent that I had tried. Early on in my soap exploration, I kept it simple. Sandalwood or citrus in my soaps. I was hesitant for a long time to try anything more than that. Then I tried Sea Spice Lime, and it honestly blew my mind. There was a sharp rise in the growth of software in my den after that. Black Watch holds a high spot in my den (and dare I say for u/gcgallant as well). The scent is just wonderful. It has a classic and masculine vibe. The bergamot, jasmine, and plum stand out in the front and are accompanied in the background by a lovely blend of leather, oakmoss, incense, and sandalwood. It scratches an incense itch I had while at the same time being much more. If you haven't had a chance to try it yet, 10/10 would recommend it.

The Heljestrand has proved to be a great shaver. The steel has a gentle feel, and even with the thinner grind, it is firm and moves with conviction. The edge is smooth yet very keen. This mornings shave was a pleasure.
