SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 19, 2020

I so enjoyed my shave the morning before last, that I stropped the new W&B 7/8 and proceeded to have another exemplary three pass (WTG, ATG, XTG) shave with this nicely sized razor. I really like the heft in hand. My two pass (ATG, ATG) dome shave with a Feather Super loaded into my faithful Colonial General V2 was every bit as good! My scalp is healed, and I feel clean, velveteen smooth and refreshed on this bright sunny cold day in the Philadelphia suburbs!

RAZOR: Wade & Butcher 7/8 (Mug), Colonial General V2 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather Super AC
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Sapele/Resin Handled Pro48 Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme Balm.

Rushed the shave and had many weepers. Took care of them with an Osma alum block and stiptic pencil, but the damage is done. Wet shaving always stands ready to remind the practisioner to excersise care and attention in all that you do. Take care, gentlemen!

Another great shave. :biggrin:

Being in a mildly flirtatious mood I changed my razor again (but kept my favorite handle). The rest of the team remained the same. For some reason, unbeknownst to me, I'm enjoying the daily razor change and may continue doing this for a while (or not).


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:
