Re: SOTD March 17 through March 23
-- Thursday--
Prep: hot water wash with bath soap
Razor: 1922 Gillette Big Fellow with New Improved head
Blade: Feather (2)
Brush: Ever-Ready 200T restored with TGN two band finest
Soap: Mike's Naturals Vetiver
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G5 in Hamada glaze (used as brush scuttle)
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant alum stick and Thayers's witch hazel
Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Excellent shave. Extrememly close, though I did have a few weepers I had to use styptic pencil on. I am really rediscovering and loving the New Improved head. The Big Fellow in general is an excellent razor having perfect balance, weight and handle length and knurling. The NI head is very good because it is generally mild, but with slight pressure can be made aggressive. The blade gap is huge, but exposure is almost zero. This is a unique (to my knowledge) DE design. I love that I can go easy on most of my face and then add a little bite to the problem areas without any adjustments or anything other than pressure technique.
My newly restored ER brush is amazing. I am so happy with it! It is perfectly set to be soft and comfy, yet destroys Mike's soap with ease. Vetiver is not my cup of tea for scent, but Mike's soap will always have a spot in my den. Currently Barbershop, Hungarian Lavender and Rose and Cedarwood are my favorites.
