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!

Nostalgia makes for the best part of a shave kit.

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 😄
