SOTD SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2020

RAZOR: Genco 35 (Mug), Valet Auto Strop VC4 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather FAS-10 Carbon Steel (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
BRUSH: JR Custom Rosewood Silvertip Badger #378
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Krampert’s Frostbite.

Tatara Nodachi SB/Kai (2). For whatever reason the Kai has slightly non standard cutouts for which the precisely machined Tatara was not designed. Thus the blade has to be pushed with considerable vigor onto the cap to properly seat in the head. Superb shave.

Here's Sunday's shave:

shave-Razorock Lime Burst
brush-Crown King 26mm Spindle Duro Tali
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Stoylin Glacial Lime

Gillette Aristocrat adjustable, Bic Chrome Platinum, shave 5


1964 model with a date code of J. Razor was set at 8. Still mild at this setting but much more efficient than lower settings. I also did some back and forth with a Slim also a J date coded razor and found they are pretty mucb identical shave wise as I always suspected. End result not quite a BBS finish after 5 passes but better than most Gillette razors.

​

Roughneck
I pushed the blade too far. Usually I pitch them after three shaves. I got a few weepers and burn on my neck despite dialing down to 3 on the Model T. The terror balm made me feel better.

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Razor: Rockwell Model T
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: Brothers Bristles Silver Surfer
Pre-Shave: Cold Water
Lather: Declaration Grooming Semicolon ;
Aftershave: B&M Terror Balm

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.


The Ming shi 3000s is such a mild razor, which for me personally isn't a bad thing as i don't need an aggressive razor each time i shave...What i like about the 3000s is i can buff over my problem areas without causing any irritation to my skin.

I personally think if you find something that works for you then stick with it no matter how much or little it costs, if it gives you good shaving results then that's all you need. Enough said.

Another very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy you Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
