The multi-day growth this morning was heavier than usual due to a less than remarkable SR test shave a couple of days ago, in the interest of making the best of my available stones. I knew today's shave would be great, and it was just that. This was the 6th very close and smooth shave with the little Schick Slim Twin cartridge.

Zenith boar brush

SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 2021

Sorry for missing the last month. I had a health blip that sidelined me, but I’m back and glad to be here. This old man crap can really ruin one’s day. My Kildare (that’s doctor for you young sprouts) has banned ‘spiritus frumenti’ for at least another month, and SWMBO’s mothering the bejeezus out of me, but I’m otherwise about 80%. I don’t know if I’ll be able to manage daily posts, but I’ll do my best. Rather than use use those multibladed plastic thingamajigs in the hospital, I elected not to shave. As a result I ended up looking like a wooly mammoth upon discharge home today.

My first shave featured my favorite vintage razor, the Sheffield Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 and the Schick Model C injector, old classics like yours truly. My first task was to remove most of the overgrown whisker roughage with electric clippers. This was followed by lathering up with the best shaving soap in the world, MWF, IMHO. The three pass mug shave felt great and was followed by an equally exemplary two pass noggin shave. How nice to return to my regular cue ball state. I feel clean and wonderfully smooth.

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 (Mug), Schick Model C (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Injector
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: JT Sapele/Resin Handled Omega Pro48 Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse withHumphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme Balm.

SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 2021

Having to adjust my straight shaving technique to accommodate one hand, until I regain strength in my dominant left hand. The incredible restored bone-handled Ellis and Allan giant stubtail 8/8 with its striking amber wedge cleaned up the mug stubble in three slow careful passes. My shaves are taking a lot longer since I’m limited to just my one hand. Fortunately, my 17 yr old grandson helped out with the lather generation. The two pass noggin shave with my ever-so-efficient Eclipse Red Ring completed the shave, and left your humble narrator velveteen smooth, cool and clean.

RAZOR: Ellis & Allan 8/8
BLADE: Sharp Star DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE LE Aluminum Handle #005 w/ SynBad Knot
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with PAA Frost Byte AS Splash.
