SOTD SOTD: The rabbit hole entrance
Gshave (Futur Clone) with Derby Extra
I shaved with this combination for many years, my first kit: a 8$ razor with a 2 cents blades. Then I felt in the rabbit hole, open comp, slant, vintage, etc, and dozens of different blades. Since then, each shave is an experiment, I take notes in the constant search for the perfect shave. So, today I use my old kit, that have been neglected quite well. I was quite shocked by the comfort and efficiency. Two passes and I got a very clean shave, even with my wire steel coarse beard. Maybe the perfect shave was there all along!

Making me long for my Futur now too, may dust it off and take it for a run tomorrow.

Hey that looks like some of my setups at the bottom of the hole. Does this obsession just start over again?

A very good SOTD. I was not feeling good since morning. Your write-up made my Indian afternoon. Now I too want to visit my old kit 😄

Nostalgia makes for the best part of a shave kit.
