    I’m not sure what happened today, shave felt rough and this is the same razor + blade combo I’ve been using the last couple weeks. Could be I got a dud blade, it does happen sometimes.

    • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
    • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
    • Razor: Parker Straight Razor
    • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
    • Post Shave: Floid The Genuine

    Good and close shave. I’m more used to the Parker straight, where I don’t have to check that I don’t come too close to the ear.

    And this is the 4th SOTD posted today - we’re on fire 🔥!

    Have a good evening!
