SOTD MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23, 2020

This morning’s dome shave was fun! The one safety razor I love tinkering with is my 2011 Muhle R41. I ditched the original handle years ago, and have tried several others. The Weber SS handle paired with the razor today seems perfect for it. It’s heft, weight and length felt ideal for me. One bloodless ATG pass put the baby to bed. The regular dome trouble spot in the back of my noggin was sheared right down to the skin line. The dome shave was every bit as good, if not better than the one achieved with my AC safety razors, and in fact only matched by my Shake Sharp!

My mug shave also checked all the boxes. Rather than my usual three pass traditional shave, I decided to try something different this morning by dropping the usual first WTG pass. The buttery smooth silver steel Tanifuji Airi delivered a two pass (ATG, XTG) shave that achieved the same result as my usual three pass one, despite what I thought was a weeper below my right ear (red on the blade). However, as seems to regularly be the case with MWF, it disappeared after the second lather. In any case, I feel clean, velveteen smooth and refreshed!

RAZOR: Tanifuji Airi 11/16 (Mug), Muhle 2011 R41 w/ Weber SS Handle
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid Knot #007
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme Aftershave Balm.

Razor - Executive Shaving Outlaw
Blade - Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow
Brush - Wolf Whiskers "Becky" 24mm synthetic (bowl)
Soap - Ariana & Evans Choco Cubano
A/S - Ariana & Evans Choco Cubano

My face feels great today, probably well protected by the A&E stuff. Gave a good glide to even this not-the-sharpest blade. What a scent: boozy chocolate with a deep citrus note. It explodes with the A/S and there's more of a smoky tobacco note. This whole shave was just incredibly enjoyable.

Excellent, my face is really smooth and incredibly comfortable. The chunky brush feels so fantastic in hand. Nice dense soft knot made a great lather easily and quickly, very impressed with how efficient it was. Razor had great glide and smoothness, and that was it!
