SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 2021

This afternoon Gromit and I will be returning to our Philly condo after more than a year’s absence to join my bride there. I expect there’ll be a fair bit of cleaning involved, but I'm looking forward to that 51st floor backdrop with our 10 mile view in my SOTD photos. It was definitely time to break out two of my favorite vintage razors, the Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16 straight razor along with the Gem G-Bar safety razor on this relatively warm (57°F), bright, sunny morning.

My new MrEE Blue anodized LE handle fitted with a fantastic SynBad knot is a joy to use. It’s very soft, yet at the same time has the kind of backbone to easily handle bowl lathering MWF, although this morning’s shave featured one of my favorite shaving creams, Nancy Boy Signature. The 18 year old company, based in San Francisco, flies under the radar, since they do no formal marketing, preferring to invest those funds into sourcing and using the highest grade natural ingredients. Marketing is all word of mouth, and their customers tend to be fiercely loyal true fans.

The overall shave was divine despite an unexpected bump removal by the G-Bar during the dome shave on the right side of my noggin on the first regular ATG pass.. Proraso styptic gel quickly handled that issue resulting in an uneventful second pass. But the truly epic part of this morning’s shave was the mug portion. The razor was restored beautifully by David Work, who appears to be a bit of a magician when it comes to returning old Sheffield steel to like new condition. The razor shaves extremely smoothly and after three glorious passes left your happy narrator smiling as he felt his velveteen smooth face.

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16 (Mug), Gem G-Bar (Dome)
BLADE: Pella PTFE Gem
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Blue Anodized Aluminum LE with 24mm SynBad Knot
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature Scent AS Balm.

Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezings,Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils.3 Menthol Crystals Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel)./L'0REAL ~ Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave.) (Adjustable DE Razor week.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Maiden face & head shave with the Vitos Vegetale Soap...The verdict?..... A very nice shaving soap, which lathers up superbly provides a slick protective thick lather with a wonderful vibrant marzipan /sweet almond scent with a small hint of coconut oil which lasts throughout the shave and beyond leaving a superb post shave feel...A wonderful addition to my humble shaving soap collection which i look forward to using in future shaves.

Finishing the Lord blade month off using the Shark Super Stainless blade....I know from pass experience with the Shark SS i get 2-3 max acceptable shaves after that i bin them. They have a good balance of smoothness/sharpness which is a great combo especially for head shaving...As always YMMV, opinions are very subjective.

The Parker Variant razor excelled the shave eliminating my face & head stubble effortlessly... It's always a pleasure to shave with this amazingly smooth solidly well built razor, today was no exception...The non-aggressive yet assertive enough Shark SS paired together wonderfully making a smooth efficient duo.

A enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off a with a small dollop of L'0REAL ~ Barber Club Reinforcing ASB..

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

I am assuming that you have a full head of hair or close to it. If I let my hair grow, then I have the horseshoe look which is unbecoming, thus I need to frequently headshave.
Click to expand...

i don't have the horseshoe look yet,but i'm near "follically challenged" on top/dome, buzz-cutting it on no guard makes it look and more importantly feel better...Our hair is just a small insignificant part of us.. I like the "follically challenged look"now, it also saves me a fortune on hair products...It's stupidly pointless IMHO been a 'Walter Wiggy', a 'Bobby Comb-over', or a Toupee Tommy. However, it took me a while to grab my Male-Pattern Baldness hairline by the balls and buzzed it away. I did feel much better for it once i had the courage to do so, and have never looked back since.

Did a 2 pass shave with a lot of buffing to get an IBSS ++. I should have binned this blade at the onset, but I try to stretch these blades because they are expensive. There wasn't any injuries or irritation from this shave. Did bin the blade afterwards and injected a new one. Finished the session with my normal routine. It isn't BBS, but it still is a good shave. I'm just going to the gym and then have lunch before I go home and do some stuff that needs attention. Have a good day guys! View attachment 248295

This morning, I closed out(for the time being)my Stoylin Spice SS&AS duo. Today's brush was the Crown King Spindle Duro Tali. One of those "I reallly don't need a second pass, but I'll do it anyway to preserve the soap" shaves. Excellent work all the way around(face&neck). Somehow, a Knick entered into the shave(at S.E. Porcupine Alley-the chin). In this case, "somehow" means "I never felt the thing develop, but there it was". But overall, I was most pleased. Super Duper Excellent.

March 27 SOTD Shick Saturday

Good morning guys!

Schick E3
Schick Injector Blade (7?)
Omega Pro 48
Glastonbury SS and AS
Dickinson's WH and Nivea ASB
Whiskers: 24 hrs

Did a 2 pass shave with a lot of buffing to get an IBSS ++. I should have binned this blade at the onset, but I try to stretch these blades because they are expensive. There wasn't any injuries or irritation from this shave. Did bin the blade afterwards and injected a new one. Finished the session with my normal routine. It isn't BBS, but it still is a good shave. I'm just going to the gym and then have lunch before I go home and do some stuff that needs attention. Have a good day guys! View attachment 248295

SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 2021

This afternoon Gromit and I will be returning to our Philly condo after more than a year’s absence to join my bride there. I expect there’ll be a fair bit of cleaning involved, but I'm looking forward to that 51st floor backdrop with our 10 mile view in my SOTD photos. It was definitely time to break out two of my favorite vintage razors, the Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16 straight razor along with the Gem G-Bar safety razor on this relatively warm (57°F), bright, sunny morning.

My new MrEE Blue anodized LE handle fitted with a fantastic SynBad knot is a joy to use. It’s very soft, yet at the same time has the kind of backbone to easily handle bowl lathering MWF, although this morning’s shave featured one of my favorite shaving creams, Nancy Boy Signature. The 18 year old company, based in San Francisco, flies under the radar, since they do no formal marketing, preferring to invest those funds into sourcing and using the highest grade natural ingredients. Marketing is all word of mouth, and their customers tend to be fiercely loyal true fans.

The overall shave was divine despite an unexpected bump removal by the G-Bar during the dome shave on the right side of my noggin on the first regular ATG pass.. Proraso styptic gel quickly handled that issue resulting in an uneventful second pass. But the truly epic part of this morning’s shave was the mug portion. The razor was restored beautifully by David Work, who appears to be a bit of a magician when it comes to returning old Sheffield steel to like new condition. The razor shaves extremely smoothly and after three glorious passes left your happy narrator smiling as he felt his velveteen smooth face.

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16 (Mug), Gem G-Bar (Dome)
BLADE: Pella PTFE Gem
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Blue Anodized Aluminum LE with 24mm SynBad Knot
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature Scent AS Balm.

March Focus

Vintage Williams~~Rubberset 400/3~~Feather AS-D2/Gillette Platinum~~Nasomatto Hindu Grass
Nothing fancy about this shave.
Stellar lather from the tallow Williams, whipped into frenzy by the Rubberset.
New Gillette Platinum blade was held deftly and securely by the Feather.
Chin suffered nought this morning.
Nasomatto Hindu Grass for the finish.
Excellent juice...wish I could find a full bottle.
