SOTD 29 November 2020
Pre-shave: Hot shower, Kiehls Facial Fuel, and Elemis shave oil, with cold water splash.
Soap: Oxford Soap Co - Sandlewood.
Brush: Muhle Silvertip Fiber.
Razor: Blackland Tradere.
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Black (Aka Black Ninja's) (Day 1).
Post: Cold water splash - Swiss Pitralon, Clairn's Blue Orchid face oil, and Professor Herb Mandarin, Basil and Lime Day Cream.
Shaved late today, decided to try the Black Ninja's - I picked up a few tucks from the Gentleman's Groom Room, and wanted to try a 'sharper' blade in the Blackland Tradere.
Wow - what a shave - smooth, very comfortable, from start to finish, and post shave - sheer joy. Comparing today's shave with the Black Ninja's with the Lord Platinum's was night and day - the Ninja for me the knock out winner, as ever YMMV. 2 Passes WTG and XTG, BBS finish, with no issues to report.
I am beginning to wonder if the Blackland Tradere is best doubled up with blades on the sharper end of the spectrum.
All the best, stay safe, and sane, in these difficult days.
