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.
