SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 2021

Today marks my return to two handed straight razor mug shaves! And what better razor for the debut than my sweet little Boker cast steel French Point 5/8. After its touch up on the jasper stone and consequent run through Howard Schecter’s Constroption, Madame Boker swept away my mug whiskers like the Romans through the Sabine women in three very careful passes! Although my left hand did cramp up a bit, requiring the shave to be a bit more drawn out, the Traveling Wilbury’s “Handle With Care” was definitely an appropriate background refrain.

The long handle on my 1920 Gillette Big Fellow was just the ticket for my recovering left hand and arm enabling me to get at the back and sides of my noggin and complete my usual two ATG passes with no compromises. Just a shout out to my sweet smelling beautiful young physical therapist, Dr. Jenna! Despite my grousing and complaining, I’m truly grateful to this wonderful young woman! As she kept saying, put in the work, and you’ll get the results! I feel cool, clean and velveteen!

RAZOR: Boker Cast Steel French Point 5/8 (Mug), Gillette Big Fellow (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE 
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
