SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 2020

It’s a cool, gray 32 degrees Farenheit here in the Philadelphia suburbs. After our governor’s Covid presentation yesterday, I’m seriously tempted to retreat to an A-Bomb shelter! It’s bad out there, and not getting any better. As an advanced member of the danger demographic it’s not looking good for our country health nor economy-wise. All I have to fall back on are the pleasure of my morning shaves and return to my Feather DX focus. And this morning’s shave was one of the better ones, thank goodness. I selected my beautiful silver plated Valet Auto Strop Model VB2, and stropped the contained carbon steel Feather FAS-10 blade for forty strokes. The wonderful Sapele/Resin handled Pro48 built by an extremely talented Canuckian turner friend at TSD, performed beautifully. It effortlessly created the two different lathers I like for my dome and mug shaves. The result was a foregone conclusion, two great shaves, one with an open edge on the mug and the other with a classic, vintage safety razor on the dome. I feel refreshed, clean and smoothly velveteen!

RAZOR: Wood Handled Feather DX (Mug), Valet Auto Strop Model VB2
BLADE: Feather Super AC (Mug), Feather FAS-10 Carbon Steel (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil 
BRUSH: Sapele/Resin Handled Pro48 Boar 
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat 
POSTSHAVE: Cold Water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash.

Lovely.
Bravo.

Much Appreciated, thanks.
