SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 31, 2021

For January’s last shave I selected the Wade & Butcher 7/8 for my mug and another long neglected safety razor, the Seki Feather AS-D2 fitted with a Feather DE, the blade the razor was designed around. Many have heard that this safety razor is mild, but that is far from the case. It’s a razor designed with a very narrow sweet spot, but once dialed in is capable of obliterating any set of whiskers. Using it with any DE blade other than a Feather, a Bic, a Nacet or a Kai is a mistake. It was optimized for the sharpest blade of the time, the Feather DE. I used this razor following a two week hospital stay over a year ago to effortlessly remove two weeks of growth! The razor is deemed mild by those who have not taken the time to master it. Those of us who have, prize it as a superb shaving tool. I don't have much to say about my W&B; it always delivers the goods! This morning’s shave left me clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth!

Sunday Schick shave, Jan 31st 2021

Razor: Schick adjustable injector Model 3(M3)- excellent Schick injector razor, still mid range in the 2-3 adjustment range.
Blade: Personna SS PTFE injector(6) excellent blade, sharp & smooth and inexpensive, great longevity.
Soap: Proraso red Sandal wood- great soap, different Sandal wood scent than other's, great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Red Zebra 26mm- If a person likes big knots that have heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice gentle scub & excellent lather painter and has a awesome handle this one might be worth it IMO. One of my favorite 26mm synthetics.

Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Proraso red Sandal wood with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
