  I hadn’t realised how broad the pointing out an error rule was, well played!

    I was on the fence whether to take the point, but I did “successfully [identify] an error in another sub members SOTD.” :)

Of the many CB soaps I wish I had, this one is towards the top of the list. Perhaps you know that Connecticut Shade is a type of tobacco grown in Connecticut and used mostly for cigar wrappers. Higher quality Connecticut Shade cigars are known for being smooth and creamy. My favorite for those (very rare) occasions when I have a cigar with my morning coffee.

  I don’t think you would regret blind buying this one.
  
  You sent me down a short rabbit hole on the Connecticut Shade history. Very interesting!

11.02.2025 SOTN

Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm

Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ RR Bamboo 316L handle

Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux

Lather: A&E - Ouddiction

Post-Shave: OAM sensitive skin toner; benecos 2in1 aftershave & face balm

-> 2-pass head shave. Not as close as I would’ve liked, but comfortable.

After a few days of only trimming my (remaining) hair down to barely noticeable lengths, it was great to finally go for a luxurious shave again.

Today was a good day for Ouddiction, but unfortunately I am a bit out of the loop when it comes to lathering K2e. It was very thin and sloppy, something that a lot of folks like for their face shaves, but as a head shaver I prefer a bit more cushion. I tried to redeem that on the second pass, but it wasn’t that much better. Some days are just like this, I suppose I need to go with my crazy long loading technique for all soaps. The Cyber was very mild despite being the more aggressive version of the two heads RR offers, but well… this wasn’t as close as I like my shaves to be. I’m kinda tempted to go with my OC or MMOC tomorrow.

After a short late shift yesterday and a day off today, I’ve got five early shifts ahead of me. Ugh. Getting up at 4:30 in the morning is way harder than still being awake at that time, but someone has to do it.
