Soap Ariana & Evans Peach & Cognac
Brush Boti 26mm Fan Silvertip
Razor P Hospital Le Grelot Thiers 1st Naniwa 12k Edge
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Ariana & Evans Peach & Cognac Splash
This is a wonderful soap! Lovely & strong scent with a rich, creamy and slick lather...
Received my Naniwa 12k, immediately lapped it followed this razor. Wow! A highly polished edge and today shave were very smooth and comfortable...so different from the previous shave with this razor. 3passes without any issues for a dfs/ccs result. Will be putting the Red Imp through the Naniwa next. Aftershaves were awesome!

The Henson made for an lasting shave yesterday, so all I had to do today was to grap the mother of the beast aka Mühle R41 version 2011. After having completed a single pass atg with some touch-ups on my neck my skin felt silky smooth again. No cuts or irritation.

Happy shaves!

I decided to go with a new razor and blade today: the RR Stealth Slant and a fresh Wizamet blade. A nice choice. The “Sue Boar” did a fine job of making lather and the resulting shave was great. A perfect BBS shave. Have a good weekend, folks.

SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 2022

Today is my birthday shave, and this is a big one for me! Eight years ago I was informed by three medical schools in Philadelphia that my rare, extremely aggressive bone cancer was inoperable. They recommended I consider hospice and get my affairs in order. Since I’d just lost my wife of 38 yrs to metastatic breast cancer two years earlier, I didn’t feel like being cooperative!

I contacted my old team medic, now a retired Professor of Rheumatology and he hooked me up with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX., the oldest dedicated cancer research and treatment facility in the US. My problem was that my aggressive tumor had engulfed three ribs on my left side, the bottom lobe of my left lung and a third of my diaphragm.

As each of the docs I’d consulted in Philly explained, the cancer I had didn’t respond to chemo or radiation. The only recourse was surgery. And it wasn’t like they couldn’t excise the tumor, they just had no FDA approved means of putting me back together afterwards.

The really great thing about MD Anderson is that they aren’t generalists like most community oncologists. They’re all specialists, each headed up by a medical director with decades of experience in a particular cancer. In my case, my surgeon had specialized in my very rare bone cancer for almost three decades. They accepted me as a patient with the proviso that I agree to be a research subject for five years!

A team of four surgeons and 11 hours of surgery and the use of a non-FDA-Approved bovine nano mesh to put me back together and here I am eight years later. The date of my surgery was June 11, 2014. Two years later on June 11, 2016 I married my child bride who turned 65 yesterday.

I would like to express my gratitude to all the wonderful people I’ve met in this wonderful wet-shaving hobby we all share together. Thanks for your friendship and willingness to engage with this retired old guy missing three ribs, the bottom lobe of his left lung and a third of his diaphragm, regardless of your age, background or experience.

Anyway back to my 75th birthday shave! I selected my Iwasaki 33 11/16 for my mug shave this morning. It was advertised as shave ready, but not for this Mediterranean beard after taking the seller at his word on my first shave with it! I restored the edge on my coticule and finished it on the 9 Ball Slate and the Jasper stone. This morning’s shave was sweet! Two and a half passes and I was smooth as my great granddaughter’s behind!

I tend to prefer SE’s over DE’s, but my Eclipse Red Ring is no slouch and can definitely hold its own! This little DE is surprisingly efficient. Especially, when fitted with a new Kai blade which tends to be just a smidge wider than most DE blades and quite sharp! Two ATG passes put the baby to bed and in the process left yours truly smooth as a peach after his 75th birthday shave was completed to the Traveling Wilbury’s “Handle With Care”!

RAZOR: Iwasaki 33 11/16 (Mug), Eclipse Red Ring (Dome)
BLADE: Kai DE (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Rooney Ebony Pure Badger
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys WH. Finished with Canoe Original EdT
