Happy Moarteen day 🎉.
About a month ago, these glittery green razors started landing in their dens and it’s interesting what happened: exactly half of the razors never showed up in an SOTD post. Cold feet? Secret shaves? Nobody knows.
Either way, lovely shave with the sub exclusive hardware, and Mountain Man/Silver Mountain Water is a very enjoyable placeholder until the sub exclusive I, Rich Moose can complete the colour-coordinated 100% sub exclusive SOTD.

I’m not sure of the reason, but of the chypres I have tried, they have a slight soda-like element to them. Anyway, I got a really good shave this morning. Im really pleased how pleasant this Literal Lilac.

My fourth shave with Moarteen went relatively well all things considered. No nicks, slices, or blood. Two passes then a finishing ATG pass with the Legacy to get as close a finish as I wanted. Slowly but surely the technique is coming along!
SV is really really good
first time I used it and the lather is easily on par with most other soaps I have. A bit drying on the skin, but once I rinsed off properly and applied the balm it was fine. Moarteen for the theme, Dirtyver because it’s a green scent, lemon lime balm because the packaging is green

A pretty decent and close shave from this very nice razor.
It’s hard to believe I’ve used a straight razor 18 times already.
Sotd? The heck is that abbreviation supposed to be
I legit thought it was the Wednesday STD thread and folks had to post their best rash pics.
Too much time on reddit I suppose.
🤣
It means Shave of the Day. This is a group of traditional shaving enthusiasts and we post what types of razors and soaps we use in here day to day.
Ahhh, my brain kept going to system of a down, but I knew it wasn’t right what with the letter being wrong
Wake Up (Wake Up)
Grab a brush and put a little shave soap
Hide the scars and fade away the stubble
