Razor: Rex Ambassador
Blade: Personna Red (2)
Lather: BaM Reserve Cool
Lather Bowl: Periera Unbreakable
Post Shave: Reserve Cool AS
Post Shave: Reserve Cool Balm

Notes: Tonight’s shave. The Rex was the first “high-end” razor I bought and thought I would revisit. Still the best handle in the den.  As usual, the Barrister and Mann software is outstanding. 

SOTD: Easy mid-week shave this morning - hope everyone is doing well!

SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 2021

This morning’s shave supports my assertion that great shavers can appear in unexpected ways. Shortly after I began using my Dovo Special again, I traded a somewhat beat up Gillette Black Tip for my second straight razor acquisition, the Lord 6/8 featured in today’s shave. My friend had given up on straight shaving and traded this 1920’s-30’s Little Art Deco beauty. We were both pleased with the results of our barter. He’d been searching for a Gillette Black Tip in decent condition, and I am not a fan of the head geometry of most Gillette TTO’s.  

At that time, my aspiring bladesmith son, Ben, had just completed his jnat progression and was looking for a razor to run through it. I volunteered the then newly acquired little Lord, and again it was a win-win. Ben killed the existing edge, reset the bevel, and finished the final polish, in the process crafting a superb edge that I’ve managed to maintain for over a year with my pasted strop progression. This is the little razor that could and does! What a great mug shave. The edge on this little beauty is truly ‘whisker-melting’. 

One of my friends at TSD (jmudrick) introduced me to the incredible little Shake Sharp SE. It’s the only vintage SE I’m aware of that uses unmodified DE blades. It was designed during the Great Depression as a self sharpening safety razor for the carbon steel DE blades that were then the prevailing blade option. This nickel plated version was my first Shake Sharp; I have three in all. WW2 interfered with its introduction and and the thinner SS blades no longer required the sharpening feature. But when blades are doubled (ie ‘stacked’), it becomes an amazing Dome shaver, and certainly delivered an exemplary two pass ATG noggin shave this morning. I feel clean, porcelain smooth and refreshed.

RAZOR: Lord 6/8 (Mug), Shake Sharp Nickel Plated Model (Dome)
BLADE: 2 Stacked Sharp Star DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil 
BRUSH: MrEE Blue Anodized Aluminum Handled LE #005 with SynBad Knot
SOAP: Baron’s Choice
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme Balm.
