A very fine shave this morning, all bay rum. The tub of Meißner Tremonia’s Natural Bay Rum is new, and you can clearly see the logo printed/embossed directly on the soap. After a few uses it’s gone, of course, but it makes a very nice presentation.
The Satin Tip brush did a fine job, and I got the usual excellent lather from the soap, this time with a strong and pleasant bay rum fragrance.
The Fine slant did its usual great job, and now the right angle comes easily to me. Focusing on keeping the cap touching the face helps, since it encourages moving the handle a bit farther from the face, making the angle perfect.
Three passes, perfect BBS without nicks, and a good splash of Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum to finish the job.
I will be out of town tomorrow. The SOTD will resume on Friday. My shave tomorrow I already know will be with the 102 since I have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to catch a flight. If I’m going to shave half-asleep, I want a razor I can trust.
