Pre	Face wash with Cera Ve Hydrating Facial Cleaner
Soap/Cream	Ethos Lavender
Brush	Zenith Manchurian
Bowl	Captain’s Choice Copper
Razor	Merkur 37C
Blade	Kai
Aftershave	Thayers WH & L’Occitane ASB
Fragrance	TOBS Sandalwood
Rating	9/10
Comments	67th shave with the Ethos Lavender. The brush today is my Zenith Manchurian – one nice brush. I again had to scoop some of the soap out since the hole in the soap puck is so large. Nevertheless, the lather was nice and rich. This is the fourth and final shave with the Merkur 37C and Kai blade. The combo worked nicely but I could feel a little bite on my final pass. I have decided to stick with the L’Occitane ASB for the next week since I have so little left in it. Have a great day, folks, and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

SOTD SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 2022

It’s really nice to be posting again. This morning was the first straight razor shave since early February for this old geezer! SWMBO and the medical body mechanics were again quite opposed to any open edge mug shaving on my part. I put the “Traveling Wilbury’s” song, ‘Handle With Care’ and picked up one of my my favorite straight razors, this lovely. Bartmann, and had at it. It really is like riding a bike. Two and a half passes left me wonderfully smooth.

One of the benefits of another enforced health vacation, was the opportunity to add to my safety razor collection and knowledge. According to Waite’s Compendium, the later 1950’s Durham Enders Speed Shavers had their start in the 1932 Enders Speed Razor. Initial manufacturing took place in St. Louis, MO under the auspices of the Simmons Hardware Co. Manufacturing later shifted to Mystic, CT in the 1940’s following acquisition of the brand by the Durham Duplex Co.

While the Speed Razor and Speed Shavers are handsomely constructed safety razors, they required a proprietary blade which left many of them on the shelf as display queens until an enterprising soul discovered that the current Schick B-20 Injector blade fit perfectly unlike any other injectors. With the edge removed from an original proprietary blade, they were shaveable again. Since that time an adapter fitting the Schick B-20 was developed. In any case they are remarkable shaving tools!

This morning’s dome shave went swimmingly. My preference in safety razors are SE’s, and this remarkable design delivers an incredibly close shave, one every bit as good as my modern Supply and beloved E Type Schick injectors. The adapter features two neodymium magnets which hold the Schick B-20 blade quite securely. Over the course of my enforced health vacation, I’ve been shaving with all 5 of my Enders safety razors and have found them great for both mug and noggin shaves. Two ATG dome passes left yours truly velveteen smooth from neck to noggin.

RAZOR: Bartmann 86 11/16 (Mug), Durham Enders Butterscotch Handled Speed Shaver (Dome)
BLADE: Schick B-20 (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE LE #007 Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid Knot
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a splash of Canoe Original EdT.

I have to shave in my kitchen as our bathroom is under renovation. Having a pink grapefruit soda while shaving. This is my first time using a pre-shave (Proraso) and also my first time using a tallow-based shave soap. Coincidentally, this is also my first time ever with no nicks, cuts or scrapes on my face. I'm not sure whether to attribute it to the pre-shave, the tallow soap, or both. In any case, I am very happily BBS.
