SOTD "FREE WEEK" November 2nd - November 8th, 2020

SOTD MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 2020

A beautiful sunny day led to a great shave to greet the day! The JR Custom Rosewood Silvertip Badger #378 whipped up a nice wet MWF lather for my Mug shave. Three passes (WTG, ATG, XTG) with the smooth, buttery jasper edge set the stage for a great noggin shave to follow. After bowl lathering the second type of yogurty, slick MWF carpeting I like for my dome shaves, I selected a long neglected favorite DE, one of my few modern artisan safety razors, the Colonial Silversmith. Loaded with a Feather blade, it made short two pass (ATG, ATG) work of the dome stubble remaining from yesterday’s Gillette Old Type shave. A splash of Humphrey’s Lilac WH followed by Aqua Velva left me feeling smooth, clean and velveteen.

BRUSH: JR Custom Rosewood Silvertip Badger #378

Monday, 11/2:

Razor - Blackland Vector
Blade - Schick Proline
Brush - Mozingo Brushworks "Venom" 24mm ZT2
Soap - WSP Mahogany (Formula T)
A/S - APR Fenchurch

First time using a Mozingo ZT knot. It has a medium backbone that is pretty soft, but still loaded well from the tub. Went into my face lather, and wow is it soft on the face. Barely any feel from the hair; super luxurious. But it still had enough backbone to make a great lather. The scent of the soap is phenomenally warm and rich. The Vector had no problem shearing down the stubble, and my shave is again really close and comfortable.
