Post your shave of the day for Tuesday!
- Razor: Schick Injector (L type)
- Blade: Schick Injector II (8)
- Brush: Omega 10015 (22mm boar)
- Lather: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Not sure I’m going to keep up with the SOTDs, probably just here and there as whim dictates. But figured I should at least do one with a different brush and soap. Just a quick weekday shave with my bent type L (whatever, the blade sits on the posts) and one of the excellent twin blades from Japan which are a favourite for when fast and easy is in order. Best place I found to get them is direct from Japan via Amazon since the exchange rate is quite favourable lately.
And yes, MWF cracks sometimes, it still works fine though.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Today’s shave was excellent more for the experience than for closeness. I purposely dialed in a mild shave because these 3-pass shaves I’ve been doing need more than 24 hours for my beard to properly fill in. This pushes my shaving time from early morning to mid-afternoon. So, I needed to get back on track.
Nonetheless, this razor has that feeling of inevitability – it will cut – and the perfection of the Tabac Trifecta cannot be denied.

I’m also posting a link to a photo of my two-brush Lego stand. We are not a Lego family, so this was built from pieces I found at my school. Had I found different pieces, it would look different. Either way, it works as a stand. Here

Aren’t BLADE blades just the best? No tugging even after # shaves! ;)
🤦
Mosquito’s mind is so sharp, he can shave by just thinking about shaving.
Honed over the decades.
I hadn’t expected anything less.
A cut above the rest.
And non-razor razors are also just the best.
