SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 1, 2020

In keeping with my single edge September theme I selected the Lord straight razor. That will satisfy my single edge theme despite my Supply V2 incorporating a Schick Twinjector blade. The edge on the Lord was burnished last night with pull strokes on the jasper hone after a brief chrome-ox stropping session. The Supply with the Twinjector blade delivers a shave every bit as close on the first pass as my AC razors. In any case the kickoff consisted of an uneventful three pass (WTG, ATG, XTG) VBBS Mug Shave followed by a great one and 1/2 pass (ATG, ATG) dome VBBS. I feel cool, clean and very smoothly velveteen.

RAZOR: Lord 6/8 (Mug), SS Supply V2 (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Twinjector
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
BRUSH: Omega Pro48 Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Cremo Cooling Post Shave Balm.

Blade: Yellow pack Shick (current production) (1)
Brush: Crabtree and Evelyn Pure Badger
Soap: CBL Master Barber Dragon's Blood (new puck) / Old Spice Mug (Early Glass Mug 01)

Today's shave starts off with PAA's Big Shave Southwest Soap - one excellent soap. The brush is the first brush I bought after joining B&B and one of my smallest: a T&H Silvertip. Before getting a Muhle Synthetic, the T&H was my travel brush. The razor is my ATT s-1 loaded with a fresh Personna Med Prep blade. The aftershave was Thayers Rose Petal WH followed by Neutrogena Triple Protect ASB. After a shower, some Yves Saint Laurent frag.

Tuesday SOTD - A Birthday special relaxing and luxurious BBS shave!

So today being my birthday I had been to the Truefitt & Hill salon yesterday (stepped out of house almost after 3 months) to get some pre birthday pamper in the form of a royal hair cut and head massage! Since my wife had also accompanied me I ended up getting a surprising birthday gift - A brand new aftershave balm and that too my favourite Fragrance of T&H the 1805! Needless to say my birthday shave became extra special due to application of this fantastic barbershop grade fragranced balm today!

Happy Birthday and Congrats....nothing like a shave gear gift for your special day!!

Thank you friend and completely agree! That too when you get the gift as a surprise and your wife is mindful enough to remember the fragrance of the aftershave I love the most!

September 1 - Delayed Slantember by a day to get this one in first. Vintage Gillette, from when America went to explore the moon and to boldly split infinitives that had never been split before.

Razor: Gillette Slim 1962 (H4)
Blade: Gillette Super Stainless 1966 (L2)
Brush: Gillette Standard. Early 1960s. Made in England. This brush came with an absolutely awful little boar knot which has been replaced by a Shave Forge 20mm mixed-hair knot.
Lather: Gillette regular lather cream. This particular tube is newer, but it’s the same product they’d sold since the sixties.
Aftershave: This is decanted PAA Sun Down samples in an empty Sun Up bottle. Like the cream, it smells like 1966. I can’t justify buying real Sun Up.

I have never gotten a shave any worse than outstanding from a fresh Spoiler and today was no exception. These are my favorite blades.
The cream is really good. Nice and cushiony and slick. It has stearic acid, glycerin, and coconut oil. It even still has scent remaining.
I really like the scent of this classic aftershave but my wife finds it intolerably old fashioned. So I’ll just enjoy it today.
