You’ll notice that a black bean photobombed my morning shave shoot. I got some from the bulk bins yesterday, a few too many to fit the canning jar I use for storage, and this guy saw his chance and took it.
The Italian flag synthetic is a very nice brush with a 24mm knot, and I’ve learned how to load The Dead Sea effectively (a barely damp brush is the secret), so my lather this morning was especially fine—and the fragrance is quite nice with this soap.
Three passes with my RazoRock Mamba, an excellent razor in stainless steel. (It was not so long ago that stainless steel double-edge razors were quite rare—and expensive.) Three passes to total smoothness, then a good splash of Zi’ Peppino, which worked well with The Dead Sea, and the day begins.
After reading this Sharpologist article on blades and their relative sharpness, I of course had to try the Treet Platinum blade. My supply just now arrived, so tomorrow I’ll give one a go.
