SOTD 24-30 January 2021

SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 2021

In honour of my friend Jason’s NB21 win yesterday, I decided to break out the Christopher Bradley safety razor from Karve Shaving. This was my first modern artisan safety razor purchase several years ago and one of only four or five of that grouping that remain in my den, I loaded the D_OC plate and prepared for what turned out to be a superb two ATG pass dome shave. Removed the top from a bump on the left side of the dome during the first pass, which surprising disappeared after relathering the noggin with the A&E Shaving Butter. I’m really starting to like this stuff, and decided to use it in the same way I do my trusty MWF. 

So after my three pass mug shave with my still favorite straight, the Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16’s Sheffield blade, I washed my mug with the Shaving Butter brush squeezings leaving it on both dome and mug while I cleaned up. The finish involved rinsing the lather off with Humphreys Lilac WH which ended my shave. The shave surfaces feel as if a fine balm was applied leaving me feeling velveteen smooth, clean and ready for another day of leisure! Just kidding, today’s the day I spend volunteering at my local dachshund rescue with my own dachshund, Gromit. His specialty is getting the frightened and abused little ones to come out of their shells and play! He’s quite good at it. Enjoy your day, my shave brothers and sisters.

RAZOR: Sheffield Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16 (Mug), Christopher Bradley Safety Razor from Karve Shaving with Wide Body Cap (Dome)
BLADE: Sharp Star DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil 
BRUSH: MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth 
CREAM/CROAP: A&E Shaving Butter
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH.

Great writeup - informative and entertaining, as usual - but mostly ... Three cheers for you and Gromit!

Wilkinson “NEW” blade from 1969/1970 on its third shave...sublime, and right there with a vintage Light Brigade or a vintage Wilkinson London Bridge.  Fingers crossed for the next 12 shaves!
