SOTD - “Supporting Vendor Week - “Heirloom Razor Strop Co.” May 30th, 2022 to June 5th, 2022

[SharpieB]

Hi B&Bers!

This week and for the next few weeks we are going to show our support and thank our amazing B&B Supporting Vendors (who are instrumental in helping keep the lights on around here), and provide you the opportunity to show off the excellent gear that you have accumulated!

This Week’s SOTD Theme Week is all about Heirloom Razor Strop Co.! @Tony Miller and the Heirloom team makes some of the finest stops available in Nottingham, Maryland. Tony is also a long-standing (2005) and active member of our B&B community.

Let’s see your Heirloom strops if you have them. If you don’t have anything from them, go to their website @ https://heirloomrazorstrop.com their B&Bstore @ https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/forums/heirloom-razor-strop-co.293/ and show your some love for this outstanding B&B supporting vendor. “The difference is in the details” with Tony’s strops and all of his strops are very well made and reasonably priced.

If you don’t have anything from Heirloom, please still post pics of your usual SOTD or just tell us all about it.

As always, being creative and having fun IS mandatory but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but very strongly encouraged.

Let’s see some love for Tony’s excellent strops!

GEMonday, May30th, 2022, ASRazor shave this morning.

Razor : Gem Feather-weight 1st Generation- Mfg 1950-52 + 2nd Gen 1953-54, excellent tame mid range, Looks cheap to some but the performance is excellent, well thought out 1pc razor, easy to load blades and remove, one of my favorite Gem razors for sure. Weighs 1 OZ but works very well and looks great in my eyes. I would reach for it more often but the other ASR razors are calling for their turn .
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (3) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely +predictable.
Soap :Razorock XXX- nice mid range unique clean scent + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo knot,1st brush I purchased from yaqi years ago. Excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock XXX with witch hazel(nice clean scent when dried down)+ a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gem Feather-weight with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!
