SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12, 2020

This morning’s shave featured two of my favorite shave tools, the Dubl Duck Goldedge 11/16 and my Star DE which dates to the 1940s. It was developed by the American Safety Razor Corp. to compete with the highly successful Gillette Tech. This particular razor originated in a box of NOS found in a warehouse in Brooklyn, NY during a clean out where they’d been sitting for almost 70 yrs. The shave is a bit more aggressive than the Tech, and I have found that fitted with a Kai, which I shaved with today, or a Feather, delivers an exemplary noggin shave. There’s really not much more to say other than I retuned the DD Goldedge blade on my jasper stone last night. Stropping on pasted linen and then leather was just the ticket for today’s mug shave. Two ATG passes with the the Star DE on the dome and three (WTG, ATG, XTG) passes with the DD Goldedge for the mug left me refreshed, cool, clean and smoothly velveteen!

RAZOR: Dubl Duck Goldedge 11/16 (Mug), Star DE (Dome)
BLADE: Kai DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub.
