SOTD MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 2021

I don't know what it is about my C-Mon Special, but it truly loves to belt out the “Buttering Toast” refrain while working! As one of the seven favorite straight razors brought on this trip, it easily held up its rep as the loudest. Three slow, luxurious passes left my mug as smooth as my great granddaughter’s butt! The SS Supply V2 easily held up its end leaving me with a porcelain smooth noggin after two bloodless ATG passes. I feel clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: C-Mon Special 11/16 (Mug), SS Supply V2 (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Injector II Twin
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handled Hybrid Knot #007
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature AS Balm.

I'm becoming fond of this Fatip. Traded for it on a whim. It has already supplanted my EJ DE89 for travel and could unseat the Gamechanger and Rockwell 6S as my favored daily driver.

SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 2021

Day five of the Tennessee sojourn and we are beginning to see daylight. 95% of the furniture is gone. The movers arrived to pick up some sundry pieces that the bride wanted to hold onto, but Habitat for Humanity scored big. And to top it off, the bride and I completed the Covid vaccination process. I'm hoping to get out of here by tomorrow, but it may not be until Saturday.

In any case, back to the shave. Last night I stropped the Wade &Butcher 7/8, and it cleaned away this morning’s whisker stubble in three comfortable passes. The SS Supply V2 is a masterful reworking of later Schick injector design. It’s one of those safety razors that just works. Two smooth ATG passes put the baby right to bed. I feel refreshed, clean, and smoothly velveteen.

RAZOR: Wade & Butcher 7/8 (Mug), SS Supply V2 (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Injector II Twin
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handled Hybrid Knot #007
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature AS Balm.
