SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 9, 2021
I selected the Christopher Bradley safety razor from Karve Shaving for one last modern artisan safety razor dome shave before the Gillette Safety Razor Week focus which starts tomorrow here at TSD. Before I saw the light I spent a half century of one pass Barbasol shaves with the same Schick Krona until it finally gave up the ghost. My first modern artisan safety razor purchase was the safety razor featured in this photo. My only gripe with the design was the top cap which exposed the blade tabs. Then Karve developed the wide body cap enclosing the tabs and that was that. I prefer Karve’s OC base plates, and this morning’s shave featured the F_OC. It certainly delivered the goods shearing away all stubble evidence since yesterday’s dome shave.
The MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth is aptly named. The gold anodized aluminum handle feels great in hand. It easily generated the two types of lather I enjoy for my shaves. In fact, it is a real soap/croap/cream eater. Many in our hobby become entranced with scents and as a result accumulate large numbers of soaps and creams. Well, this brush is the answer to your prayers for soap reduction. Now on to my face! The mug shave featured my well-used Frederick Reynolds 5/8 with its very slight smile. This is truly a superb shaver. Light in hand, it nevertheless swept away the Nancy Boy lather and mug stubble with its usual aplomb. Three passes later I was left feeling clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth, just another delightful shave.
