SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 18, 2021

Whew doggies!! Talk about a wake up shave! A few weeks ago I ordered a collapsible travel shave bowl from Stirling Soap Co. for my grandson. They included an Electric Sheep bath soap sample. I tried it and liked it so much I decided to order the Glacial versions of their bath soap and shave soap. Well, believe you me, talk about a refreshing menthol kick! It should better be described as a wallop! The bath soap woke me up, but the shave soap was in another class entirely! The fragrance is definitely not for everyone, but I like it. Those fragheads of you out there, will probably need time to recover from the citronella eucalyptus mentholated kick! As a confirmed menth head, I loved it!

My JR Rosewood Silvertip Badger #378 generated a delightful, highly mentholated slick lather that provided a very slippery carpeting for the A. Witte Co. Copperhead 6/8 razor to sweep through. This razor has maintained an awesome buttery smooth edge which seemed to melt my mug stubble. Or maybe it was just the menthol fumes? In any case three passes were all she wrote to put the baby to bed. I will say that this is not stuff one wants to get in his or her eye! Again this shave croap is not for everybody, but I love it! Cryogen was pleasantly cooling, but always dried out my skin. The tallow in this croap left my skin feeling well hydrated! Two ATG dome passes with the LeCoq Cagehead left your very pleased narrator feeling refreshed, cool and porcelain smooth!

RAZOR: A. Witte Copperhead 6/8 (Mug), LeCoq Cagehead (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: JR Rosewood Silvertip Badger #378
CROAP: Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Osage Rub.

 

Excellent shave, poc and post Barry! Enjoy your day!

 

Thank you Joe...Have a safe enjoyable coming week.

 

Terrific shave with a nice setup Dave! Have a nice day in the Bluegrass State!

 

What Rockwell issues are you referring to, Joe? I don’t own a Rockwell safety razor or blade, but was just curious?

 

Danny, let me say this-you couldn't have said that any better myself. Clubman A.S. gets the nod with any barbershop soap-for me anyway.

 

Thanks Joe!

 

Ahh, I spent time there with an X-friend, who is FROM there...lives here in MA now. It was ok.

 

Lovely Tech shave, photo and recap, Barry! Enjoy your Sunday! I’ve been praying about your job situation! Hope everything works out for you, my friend, so you can join we old pensioners in a few years.

 

A 30 day focus makes sense, even if I’ve been wet shaving in some fashion since about 1979. I returned to DE shaving in 2014 and have always used a DE razor nearly every day. I rarely cut or nick myself. I recently decided to take away the mainly SALT and little pepper mustache and goatee and spent a few weeks re-learning to shave my upper lip and chin. This combination just works for my face! There is nothing like doing the exact same thing every day to really pinpoint the variables and to get to know your gear.

After just a few weeks, I can confidently say that this ATT Windsor competes on the same level as the late Weber or with my first generation Blackland Blackbird and can hold its own with the Gillette New LC or SC - which IMHO was the pinnacle of shaving perfection.
