SOTD : Saturday 21th April - Friday 27th April 2018.

Brush: Omega S10083
Soap: Meißner Tremonia Wild Woods
Razor: Parker 99R
Blade: Bolzano (1)

I have a work 'thing' Mon-Wed this week, which means A) I was shaving with the merest whisper of a hangover this morning, and B) I've got to make a good job of it, as I'll be standing up in front of people later today.

If I'd been a little fresher this morning I might have reached for my Vigshaving combination, but the Parker was already loaded up (and the photo was taken last week). After a third pass in places - definitely user error, I know the equipment's up to better - I'm ready to face the world. Or at least other members of my department.

One unexpected positive, the scent of the soap is really soothing when hungover. The things you learn...

Some new things I used for the first time in this shave. The Passionately Natural Soap Co., was outstanding. Great performance and the Licorice scent was strong. The Gentleman's Groom Room LE brush @Ian T was a joy to use and as ever the Parker Variant gave me a very smooth shave. The @BartsBalm products finished things nicely.
