Mantic59's Shave Of The Day 4 September 2018

Listen to this article


Today’s shave: Edwin Jagger Aloe Vera shave cream, Supply brush, Supply lathering bowl, Supply razor (Injector blade), Trumper Skin Food.

As I mentioned last week, I’m experimenting with posting my shave of the day (SOTD) on weekdays that don’t have a regular article on Sharpologist (e.g. Tuesdays and Thursdays) for the month of September.
I’ve been diggin’ more on Injector razors lately.  Here I use the Supply Injector with the “Mild” base plate and I get an effortless “DFS” result and with just a bit of cleanup I can get a BBS shave without trouble.  The marble lathering bow from Supply holds heat well!
Sometimes I like to use Trumper’s Skin Food when the weather gets reeeeally hot and humid and my face just needs some light moisturization.  I’ll also add an SPF product if I’m going to be outside.
