Comments	Today’s shave goes back to the Klar soap for the 162nd time. A 4th shave with my UK Aristocrat razor loaded with a Personna Lab blade. The razor–blade combo works great. The brush made enough lather for a 4 pass face and neck shave and 2 pass head shave. A BBS shave. Have a good day, folks.

SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 2021

Decided to switch the software for this morning’s shave from my usual MWF. Fine Snake Bite is a soap and splash I enjoy now and then. It’s a decent soap, but doesn’t hold a candle to MFH, particularly with respect to the long term post shave skin benefits. My mug shave featured the F. Herder 49 15/16. My son had borrowed this razor for the past few weeks and just returned it yesterday.

Being a persnickety soul, he killed the edge I’d put on it, and rebuilt it on his jnat progression. He really liked the feel and heft of this razor and offered to trade a NOS Cape or Tanifuji razor from his Japanese razor collection for it! I already have a nice Tanifuji, and although I was tempted by the NOS Cape, the fact that it’s featured in this morning’s mug shave reflects my response to his offer

Last night I killed my son’s jnat edge, which I find too harsh, and instead used a series of successively diluted slurries on my jasper stone to rebuild the kind of edge I like. I finished with the wonderful 9 Ball Slate my friend Glen told me about a few months ago. I really like the edge it delivers.

There really is something special about the heft and feel of this F. Herder 49 in hand. It’s a very well-balanced razor that reduced my facial stubble in the usual two and a half passes. That last half pass completely eliminated the swirly roughness on either side of my Adam’s Apple, leaving your happy narrator quite pleased with the glassine smooth result. This is one straight razor that will never be leaving the den.

There’s something special about a great Gem blade shave. First of all, the notion of blade chatter has no reference to these great stiff, thicker blades. There are a number of different Gem blade holders I enjoy shaving with, but my absolute favorite would have to be my Ever Ready Streamline. The knurled handle, the ability to strop and maintain the edge all contributed to this morning’s excellent, highly efficient noggin shave. One I know my hand will be returning to throughout the day. Two ATG passes left me cool, clean and supremely velveteen from dome to shoulders.

RAZOR: F. Herder 49 15/16 (Mug), Ever Ready Streamline (Dome)
BLADE: Pella PTFE Gem
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Omega Pro48 Boar Knot
SOAP: Fine Snake Bite
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite AS Splash.
