With the theme being 'Hairy Potter and the Half blade Prince' I present you with today's SOTD
Severing Snape - Rocnel SE-50
The <45% Prince - Dorco Prime
Harry in a Pot - Penhaligon's Bayolea
Neville Longbrush - Steven Jagger 30mm Cashmere
Luna Smellgood - Penhaligon's Bayolea aftershave
'Fuck that' said Harry after taking one look at Hagrid with his massively overgrown beard and unkempt disheveled appearance, 'Perhaps this Voldemort chap isn't so bad after all and at least it appears he knows a good razor'. And so does his mate Satanfriendly. Whether or not the Rocnel SE-50 could be labeled 'good' is another question. More swayed towards 'evil' than 'good'
And it is indeed. But even evil can be tamed. Just ask the missus. And perhaps more importantly from a shaving aspect, so can the Rocnel
The more time I spend this with this potential killing tool the more I am getting the measure of it. The unusually steep shaving angle is becoming second nature and the muscle memory is starting to set in. It is a shame that my muscles tend to remember jack shit when I am pissed out of my brain and I take on the persona of a 6ft 2" bendy toy. But that is for The Drinking Room', the drinkers forum where the SOTD (Stagger Of The Day) reports are a jumble of letters hammered together in a fit of alcoholic stupor meets computer keyboard. Not here though.
To be absolutely honest I am really starting to appreciate this razor and its abilities, even if it does, against my better nature, use half (<45%) of a DE blade which is utterly against my religion. But the results are staggering (not through drink - see previous paragraph) and other than the Ikon B1 I can't think of any other razor which delivers such a damn close shave. It takes practice, nerves and blood shedding to get there, but well worth the journey. Or to be more exact a stroll through a minefield.
I really do love this beast, even with some Dorco blade I wouldn't usually bother to entertain on those rare DE days. What a razor and finished to perfection with skin to spare. In the Rocnel the Dorco Prime is working an absolute treat, Three shaves and it is dead, but I still have the other half to use yet. Happy days. All three of them when they arrive.
It was nice to reach for the Penhaligon's Bayolea and the wonderful
@Steven_Jagger creation. I can hear the brush singing to the Bayolea the words from that great Kiss song 'I was made for loving you'. And it was. A sterling showing from team 'Face lather'
One brilliant shave and highly delighted from every angle.
'He asked you to shave what? Please do use mine to cool your blush away'
And to end it all a new find so someone new to play you out of yet another painful SOTD from me. Enjoy 'Ark Royal' and I am not talking a bloody great big aircraft carrier here. I am talking Japanese ladies doing their heavy metal stuff
Special offer. And for this week only I am giving a 'Love' out to every SOTD with a photo.
