    Not bad Paul! I know the frustration of a Knick on the first pass...but, if it's nothing more than a dot or doesn't need help to stay under control, no biggie overall.

    December 31 2020 Last shave of the Year!

    Good morning guys!

    Straight Razor Shave #238
    10/8 Max Sprecher Half hollow
    Catie's Bubbles Synthetic Brush
    Stirling Spice SS and AS
    Dickenson's Unscented WH (not pictured)
    Nivea for Men ASB

    I decided to do another hot water shave today and use my reverse method of lathering. I have to say that I quickly got a nice, creamy, slick lather. I decided to chase the baby because I wanted to end the last shave of the year with a bang. Two and a half passes gave me a beautiful BBS shave without any errors. Applied the WH, the ASB and the AS to finish this shave.
    To each and every one of you, may you have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! 20201231_100539.jpg

    SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31, 2020

    Happy New Year to all on this last morning of this horrible year! Good riddance to 2020! I decided to end this year with two of my favorite razors! The R. Saito SK3 was always a decent shaver, but the touch up on the new Naniwa 12k Super Stone with a final polish on the jasper stone yesterday, has led me to what seems my grail edge! The mug shave was buttery smooth. The dome shave featured my favorite DE razor, hands down, the Colonial Silversmith! The Evans brothers, Kyle and Kirk, broke the mold on this one. I never fail to get a superb shave with this razor! It’s a real shame more folk don’t know about it. I’ve shaved with Timeless, CG, Karve, H&S75, and Tradere, but none have matched the combination of efficiency and smoothness I experience every time I shave with this DE razor. Please don’t get me wrong, all of the latter delivered good solid shaves, but for me the Silversmith just shaves perfectly! Equipped with a Feather blade, it’s amazing and shaves every bit as close as my AC safety razors. I’ve finished 2020 clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth!

    RAZOR: R. Saito SK3 7/8 (Mug), Colonial Silversmith Safety Razor (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather DE
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: Sapele/Resin Handled Omega Pro48 Boar
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Old Spice Fresh Lime (Indian Version)
