SOTD by u/putneycj

August 3, 2024 * Preshave: Hot Shower
Brush: Chisel & Hound "Rob's Finest" Boar 25mm x 56mm
Razor: Henckels Friodur 451 No Stain
Edge: Pudding (3)
Lather: House of Mammoth Everett
Post Shave: House of Mammoth Everett Splash
Post Shave: House of Mammoth Everett EDP

After listening to Pudding's advice to hit the skin while the blade was moving vs. starting from a stop on my skin I had the best first pass of the three so far. And, subsequently, the worst second pass. I was probably overconfident and should have slowed down some, but I need to go to bed and I'm sloppy. I also shaved very shortly after a workout and that usually doesn't go super well even with a DE, so, maybe it was that.

But also there were parts of the shave where it felt quite tuggy - I can't imagine this razor is dulling at all after just 2 uses and I think I'm stroping correctly so it should be fine. I'm sure it's user error and I'll learn.

Brush was noticeably better than the first shave as it starts opening up. I guess even inexpensive boars will break in. Here's the Album. I did change the name in my SOTD to be consistent with the other homies using Rob's Finest - but, it's the same brush.

Everett is still Everett - great.

Here's hoping the blood I'm donating to my sink stops flowing so freely (though I certainly need to order another styptic here soon) and that none of these cuts scar. Speaking of - I should probably figure out some anti-scar moisturizer or something...

Have a good night folks.
