SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 26, 2021

The shaves during OC October have been pretty awesome with the exception of yesterday’s shave. I guess I’m just not a fan of late nineteenth century Swedish faux framebacks. I own two, the CW Dahlgren I shaved with yesterday and a JA Hellberg. Both get the job done, but just don’t seem to deliver the kind of refined shave that my hollow grounds do. They both feel much too light in hand for me.

This morning’s mug shave fell right back in the groove. One razor with great steel, that also feels great in hand and holds an excellent edge is my full hollow ground Thistle Cut 5/8. It sailed through my mug whiskers floating on that slick MWF lather I like so much in 2 1/2 passes with that last half pass consisting of scything strokes on my neck. I finished up with some final flatblading which left me oh-so-smooth.

The dome shave that followed featured my FrankenFamex. This particular razor consists of an ATT Atlas handle, my second Famex baseplate, and a Rockwell top cap. It is much heftier in hand than it’s more thoroughbred regular Famex cousin, thanks to the beefier handle. I adjusted it for a more efficient cut, and the two ATG passes checked all the boxes leaving my noggin cool, clean and velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: Thistle Cut 5/8 (Mug), FrankenFamex (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: JSpartan Sapele/Resin Handled Pro48 Omega Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Royall Lyme AS/Cologne.

Fabulous fragrant Famex shave, Dave. I shaved with one of mine this morning as well! Great looking case! Enjoy your day!

Thanks Jeff, great minds think alike. Enjoy your day !

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #41 2-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Improved with an Astra SP gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

OCtober!

DE SOTD, OCtober 26th 2021

Razor: Razorock Old type open comb-Mfg 2015,milder range, have not used this beauty since the last OCtober possibly, put in a Kai blade and man this baby perform today. The Kai blade cranked it up a nice notch to my sweet spot for shaving, very comfortable shave. Use to be my old travel razor with a standard blade, hard to nick your self when in the tropical climates.
Blade : Kai SS (3) excellent blade, sharp & Smooth with excellent longevity. Extra wide by 4.5/1000 of a inch per side than a standard Gillette Astra blade. Gives milder razors a nice boost in efficentcy or for those who just enjoy blade feel in any razor.
Soap: Ogallala Bayrum with sage & cedar wood, nice scent + great lather qualities. Have been using a water mister lately when mixing lathers and this has helped keeping this soap from being so airy IMO. Nice soap regardless.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: witch hazel cleanse + Ogallala Bayrum with sandal wood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion balm(scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my RR old type OC with a Kai blade.

Have some great shaves!

I've taken this week off from work. I had no travel plans, so I'm just trying to relax, and do things I enjoy. And, wouldn't you know it? I just so happen to have a bunch of razors that need to be cleaned and re-bladed. I have lined up these beauties for the toothbrush and dishsoap treatment:

OCtober 26th
Karve 'C' OC w PermaSharp (2)
Omega Evo
Soap Commander Endurance
Thayers
Barrister's Reserve Spice

Have a great day all!

Sounds like a fun task, Tim. One thing I noticed in your pics- my Astra SPs have a different wrapper than yours...not sure if yours are older or newer than mine.
