SOTD: Saturday 17 October - Friday 23 October 2026

[p.b]

Another Feather clone here: it cleared 2.5 days of stubble with style (and probably easier than after just one day).
The Mühle STF Sorona in standard density is just as fabulous as the extra dense version and most definitely my favourite synthetic. Here it’s mounted in a @highlander handle so beautifully made.
I think this’ll be my first and last unscented soap. I thought I’d enjoy a neutral scent during the shave but, while I don’t like really in yer face scents, I miss having a smell to the lather during a shave. Who knew?
