Saturday April Twenty-Fifth's Shave Of The Day was good...

PreShave: Nothing
Lather Gear: Yaqi 24mm Synth Mountain Lake whipped up Stirling's Almond Creme in Captain's Choice Copper Aquamarine
Razor&Blade: 1974 Gillette Super Adjustable loaded with ASTRA Superior Platinum... 1 buffing WTG(5)
AfterShave Gear: Omega Alum Stick then Stirling's Bay Lime ASS...

slightly surprising the 4th use of one edge of the evil ASTRA gave no troubles not even reopening the slice we made the other day... funny how somehow lather painted on made us forget that "scab" was there... hahaha

no Omega feedback and the Bay Lime has us sniffing good...

Have a Good Weekend and Good SOTDs ATGSrs...
