SOTD EASTER SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, 2021

Happy Easter to all my shave brothers and sisters out there! My focus on the new-to-me 200+ year old Ellis & Allan 8/8 stubtail continues. Most stubtails I’ve seen have much smaller blades. The size of this blade is what initially attracted me to it. But I had no idea how great-looking it would turn out under the very capable hands of master restorer and honemeister, Glen Mercurio. I'm definitely getting the hang of this big honkin’ piece of Sheffield cast steel.

My routine three pass mug shave went well, albeit much quieter than the full and extra full hollows with which I’m used to shaving. I felt the need for a very close dome shave, and there’s no better tool in the den than my Barbasol Floating Head. Two slow and careful ATG passes left your very pleased narrator with the velveteen smooth shave surfaces he craves. I feel refreshed, clean, porcelain smooth and ready for a morning at church with the bride.

RAZOR: Ellis &Allan 8/8 Stubtail (Mug), Barbasol FH (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
CREAM: A&E Shaving Butter
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with A&E Post-Shave Serum.
 
Razor: Gillette 1955 Red Tip SuperSpeed
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1st)
Brush: Dscosmetic - Red Tip Synthetic 26mm
Pre-Shave: Innisfree - Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam
Lather: Zaharoff Signature
Aftershave: Extro Cosmesi - Vaniglia (Vanilla)
Additional Care:
Innisfree - Green Tea Balancing Lotion EX

Here’s a Tip...Red!

A great razor (Birth Year 1955) that I keep misplacing. I’ve had this razor for over a year and this was only its second shave. I’ve never used a Personna Lab Blue blade before and it seems to be a natural for my face in this razor. Super smooth BBS. I did nick my outer ear lobe, but I wasn’t even shaving at the time so it doesn’t count.

I haven’t used the Zaharoff soap much. Whenever I take the lid off to smell it, it just seems too powerful for first thing in the morning, when in reality, once you wet it into a lather it becomes very soft and subtle. I made a note of that in my shaving app for future reference.
Another soft and subtle scent is the Extro Vanilla AS I used. Goes well with the Zaharoff soap.

On a lighter note, this tall lofted synthetic from Dscosmetic has a lot of backbone and is great if you like painting your face vigorously by slapping it on back and forth like a beaver tail. Like those old brooms they used to use in curling.
The Red Tip is in great shape!

Happy Easter everyone. Have a blessed day.
 
The Red Tip is in great shape!
Thanks. Totally rehabbed. Replated in platinum. Even the red tip has been repainted. Only it’s second shave since the makeover. I purchased it already done. I’m not into “collecting for display”, I use all my razors, but all I could find at the time of my red tip search were some real sad examples. It was my birth year and quarter, so I treated myself.
