SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 2022

This aging crap is just no dang fun! Twice a year I have a 6 hour infusion that holds off my Rheumatoid Arthritis, and it’s been working well. Before each procedure, there’s a blood test. Well this time I ended up with a TB result that delayed my infusion and required me to go in for a follow up test. They’ll read the result tomorrow, and hopefully, it’ll be negative! Thank heaven for my shaves! They do pick me up!

This morning I pulled out the big guns, my favorite artisan razor, “Bone Mosaic” by the incredibly talented razorsmith, Victor Creazzi of Colorado. I bought this razor from Vic close to eight or nine months ago, and it still has an awesome edge. I own other artisan razors, but Vic’s amazing razor led me to purchase a second, and I’m currently going to be ordering a third. Two and a half passes and my mug is smooth as my great grandaughter’s bottom!

The noggin shave featured the only premium, luxury Valet Autostrop Henry Gaisman ever produced, the silver plated VB2. The razor was first produced in 1927 and Gaisman put many expensive design elements into this premium razor. It featured a roller bar guide on the back, nicer handles, nicer boxes, nicer kits, and a much nicer finish. But what really set the VB2 apart was the hinged blade door.

Instead of sliding a blade into a friction slot, then activating a catch to hold the blade, the VB2 has a door you open, put the blade onto the “VALET” pins, close the door, then activate the latch. More complex. And the latch at the back of the VB2 was theoretically adjustable: You could change the blade exposure by moving the latch up or down. All I know is that it’s my second favorite Autostrop after the VC4, the only model with a safety bar. In any case two ATG passes and my dome is stubble free, leaving me velveteen smooth from noggin to neck.

RAZOR: Victor Creazzi’s “Bone Mosaic” 7/8 (Mug), Valet Autostrop VB2 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather FAS-10 (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy 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 WH. Finished with Chatillon Lux Pure Lavender Post Shave Toner.

>> Tallow Tabac Tuesday <<

No new bottle today, Mrs JAHE and I are still sipping the beautiful Riesling pictured yesterday. Very complex and sophisticated, but in first instance a joy to drink. That's why I love Riesling this much. I'll choose a new bottle for tomorrow

Furthermore, I had a nice TTT this morning - Mühle's R41 Twist chopped down my whiskers like nobody's business. BBS, no doubt about it.

Happy shaves!

Tabac Tuesday SOTD, a great shave, three passes to get to BBS, very close with no weepers; but I do have a tiny bit of that post shave feel:

Pre-shave: face wash with a goat's milk soap
Razors: Maxwell June twinned DE
Blade: Treet Black Beauty (2)- these have a different feel than coated stainless blades, the last pass was not as smooth as I expected, but still yielded a fine shave; this blade was good for just two shaves for me
Brush: Rein Dachs Klassik 20mm badger- break in continues with a nice face lather today
Soap: Tabac tallow stick- always a fine lather
Post-shave: cold rinse, a splash of WH, and some Body Shop Macca Root face protector

Today's EDC knife is a Boker+.

Have a wonderful week!
