First go with Macduffs_Soap_Co and very impressed. Performance was very good. And this lemon spice is exactly what I wanted: a great lemon base, accented by cardamom, a hint of allspice and lavender. It really reminds me of some old world markets I’ve visited in my travels.

SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 2021

This afternoon Gromit and I will be returning to our Philly condo after more than a year’s absence to join my bride there. I expect there’ll be a fair bit of cleaning involved, but I'm looking forward to that 51st floor backdrop with our 10 mile view in my SOTD photos. It was definitely time to break out two of my favorite vintage razors, the Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16 straight razor along with the Gem G-Bar safety razor on this relatively warm (57°F), bright, sunny morning.

My new MrEE Blue anodized LE handle fitted with a fantastic SynBad knot is a joy to use. It’s very soft, yet at the same time has the kind of backbone to easily handle bowl lathering MWF, although this morning’s shave featured one of my favorite shaving creams, Nancy Boy Signature. The 18 year old company, based in San Francisco, flies under the radar, since they do no formal marketing, preferring to invest those funds into sourcing and using the highest grade natural ingredients. Marketing is all word of mouth, and their customers tend to be fiercely loyal true fans.

The overall shave was divine despite an unexpected bump removal by the G-Bar during the dome shave on the right side of my noggin on the first regular ATG pass.. Proraso styptic gel quickly handled that issue resulting in an uneventful second pass. But the truly epic part of this morning’s shave was the mug portion. The razor was restored beautifully by David Work, who appears to be a bit of a magician when it comes to returning old Sheffield steel to like new condition. The razor shaves extremely smoothly and after three glorious passes left your happy narrator smiling as he felt his velveteen smooth face.

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16 (Mug), Gem G-Bar (Dome)
BLADE: Pella PTFE Gem
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Blue Anodized Aluminum LE with 24mm SynBad Knot
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature Scent AS Balm.
