A very pleasant shave today. My Rod Need Dreadnought brush, a massive thing, made a fine lather from Dr. Selby’s 3x Concentrated shaving cream.
When I resumed traditional wetshaving almost a decade ago, I started with the Merkur 34C, the “HD” in chrome. I was (as most are) astonished by how very pleasant it was to shave the traditional way, and I upgraded the 34C in time to a 34G (the gold-plated version shown). Today, with a Swedish Gillette blade, I did three very smooth and trouble-free passes.
At the end, a good splash of La Toja, a very nice aftershave. A great day begins.
