It is time again for another SOTD Theme Week! Let’s see your festive SOTD images this week.


Let’s see let’s see those Christmas Trees, Kwanzaa Kinaras, Festivus Poles, etc. Or maybe a pic shaving with your ugliest holiday sweater or a glass of that high octane egg nog that helps you cope with the family over the holidays! Holiday themed soaps and aftershaves? Let’s see ‘em.


Are you lucky enough to be on a cruise or lying on a tropical beach? That counts as a holiday and we wanna see it! Are you getting all spiffy for midnight mass? Let’s see your shave setup. Opened a great bottle of wine or booze this week? Tell us about it or incorporate it into a photo.


This isn’t only about that old dude with the white beard. Per usual, if you don’t have anything festive… post your shave or tell us about it anyways!
As always, being creative and having fun IS mandatory but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged.


Have a Happy and safe Holiday season, All!!!

SOTD MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 20, 2021

My class finished yesterday, and all that remains is the grading due this Wednesday. The fun begins tomorrow when the in-laws arrive from Las Vegas. Have to pick up beer, ready the guest room and manage SWMBO’s anxiety. Why do women go crazy when guests arrive? My sister-in-law is a bit of a princess. Her husband jumps at her every beck and call. I understand why SWMBO is nervous. What will be will be! I’d like to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my shave brothers and sisters. Stay safe and healthy out there!

The shave this morning couldn’t have been better. The Filarmonica 13P Novodur was a delight. It has a magnificent 9 Ball Slate/Jasper burnished bevel that just scooped away the mug whiskers as it glided through the slick MWF lather in two and a half passes leaving my mug glassine smooth. The noggin received comparable treatment from my Le Coq Cagehead safety razor. I received this wonderfully efficient NOS safety razor in exchange for one of my two Eclipse Red Rings several years ago. Two slow, careful ATG noggin passes put the baby to bed, again leaving your happy narrator smelling limey clean and velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: Filarmonica Novodur 13P (Mug), Le Coq Cagehead (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: JT Sapele/Resin Handled Omega Pro48 Boar Knot
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Royall Lyme AS/Cologne.
