Super nice, creamy, and slick lather from the soap! Nice scent but hmmm..abit on the mild side.
A nice pleasurable shave with this razor. I am really enjoying the thin hollow edge nowadays. Smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a dfs/ccs result. The matching aftershave was nice but a bit mild.

SOTD #269/2021
14-11-2021

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Yaqi Mokka Express 2-band badger
Soap: Le Père Lucien ~ Cèdre Orange
Razor: Karve CB Brass SB G-plate
Blade: Polsilver Stainless (2)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Le Père Lucien ~ Cèdre Orange AS.
Fragrance: Polo Red EdT.

A very nice and relaxing Sunday shave. 3 close passes, again, the Polsilver totally smoothed out the Karve G-plate. It's been a pure joy. A stunning blade.

I haven't used the LPL soap/AS combo for a while, but I should do more often. It's a lovely cedarwood driven scent intermixed with fresh orange notes, which I like a lot. I easlily whipped up a lovely slick and cushiony lather with the huge Mokka Express, this knot is almost to huge for my liking, but every now and then it's great fun to literally swirl a complete badger through the face.

Finished up the shave with Polo Red, which was a very nice match with the scent of LPL. Very nice, overall.

Enjoy your Sunday and have some greatshaves!

SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 2021

This morning I decided to change things up a bit. Instead of starting on my mug, my noggin kicked off what turned out to be an exemplary shave. Although my regular goto DE blade is a Feather, I grabbed a Wilkinson Sword blade, and fearing it wouldn’t be as sharp as I’m accustomed to, felt it was time to pull out my 2011 Muhle R41. I discarded the awful original handle that came with the razor years ago for my remaining Weber handle after selling the head off. It’s a very well-balanced pairing that sheared away my dome stubble in the usual two ATG passes, floating on a very slick, yogurty, skin rejuvenating A&E Shaving Butter lather leaving me quite smooth with a noggin shave surface my hand will definitely be returning to throughout the day.

After that great dome shave, I proceeded to dilute the the thicker dome lather until it reached that nice watery consistency perfect for my mug. Although I shaved with this lovely Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 straight razor a week or so ago, it is, without doubt, one of my finest vintage Sheffield steel shavers. David Work’s jeweler’s background provides him with the requisite attention to detail that always results in an amazingly accurate and precise restoration. If you ever get the opportunity to own one of his restored vintage razors, you won’t regret it. The heft and balance in hand are just perfect for me with this shaving tool, and two and a half passes finished with some final flatblading left me clean and oh-so-velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 (Mug), 2011 Muhle R41 (Dome)
BLADE: Wilkinson Sword (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 with 24mm Hybrid Knot Ferrule
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with A&E Post-Shave Serum.
