SOTD: Saturday 15th to Friday 21th of 2020

Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend if you got one. Today's razor of choice was the Merkur Mergress which is a hot rodded Progress. This razor is just about the perfect adjustable razor. Voskhod on its second use and dialled to 3 this is an easy shave.

TFS Corte Sabauda was the choice today with the matching AS. What a scent! They really do make excellent soaps with great performance and strong and lively scents.

Beautiful two pass shave and smooth as can be. Topped off with a spritz of Guerlain Habit Rouge which is just about as close a match as can be found and ready for the work day.

Enjoy your shaves and safe travels.

Wed 19th Feb.

Simpson Chubby 1 / Maggards 2band
Williams Mug soap
Personna Super Stainless SE
Personna S/S [ 4 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion.

Very much a Love or Hate it Razor, took me ages to get a Shave with it but now delivers great Shaves with a Personna blade. Looks like Supply took some inspiration from its design, but this IMHO is the better Shaver by a long way.
