SOTD 3/8/2020

Excellent shave this morning. Tried starting with the Imperial, but it was a no go with the same issues as yesterday. It must be my well water. I spent 5 minutes attempting a bowl lather, but the result was a thin wispy lather that kept fading away. I even attempted using my MWF face and head lathering technique, but couldn’t build up a thick enough paste. So out came the MWF, and the new brush from Evan (@MrEE), which by the way worked fantastically well with the the MWF.

I grabbed my Colonial Silversmith which has been sadly neglected and loaded a Vintage Polish Wizamet Super Iridium Blade. Then a brisk cold water rinse followed by a thick, yogurty lather applied with my new hybrid Badger/boar brush. This razor never ceases to amaze me with its seeming mildness coupled with such high efficiency.

That first WTG pass left me at the DFS+ level, and the second ATG pass was all that was necessary for a lovely, bloodless BBS shave. I feel clean, smooth, refreshed and ready for church. I wish everyone an amazing day!

RAZOR: Colonial Silversmith
BLADE: Vintage Polish Wizamet Super Iridium
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: MrEE 007 Badger/Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with A&E Post-Shave Serum

 

We have extra pork rinds, Danny. The first rule around here is "never run out of pork rinds." People seem to be concerned about hand sanitizer and toilet paper right now. Pork rind supply appears to be safe at the moment.

 

Thank you, Gary!

 

Thanks Jim!

Very good report and shave Bill!

Thanks Clint!

You are the chosen one today Jim!

Love that pic , also hate time change Clint!

Great shave Paul!

Rather write a sonnet than wear a tie !

Way to stick it through to the end Terry!

 

Thanks Danny!

Thanks Joe!

I agree wholeheartedly Joe!

Nice shave Tom!

Veddy veddy nice Joseph!

 

Beautiful pic Jim!

Love that brush Jason! Wearing a Mack was like fitting into the group and praying you didn't end up with the purple choice out of the 3 colors. I had a green one also.

They nailed it good on the first try I'd say. Hope they didn't fudge the second attempt. I see they dropped Gomez from the name too.

 

Glorious shave, Bill--that is a wonderful looking $18 dollar rescue razor! Enjoy the night out with the Missus, sir

 

Thanks, Danny! It may be my well water. If it doesn’t work for me, no biggie! I always have my MWF

 

Thank you, Clint! They really are. Dangerously so--it got a bit dicey when my wife (the family accountant) started pulling out shave gear that I had not first discussed purchasing

 

You are working too hard because you called me Terry and that's fine because he is also bald, taller and better-looking than I. It's all good, Clint! I have done it more times than I admit.

 

Thank you, Patrick!

 

Awesome shave Jason!

 

An awesome report on two uniquely awesome razors, Jim! I like 'em more and more every time I see them. A beautiful photo as well--does the Veg really glow in the dark?

 

You really stepped up to the "plate" Evan. Also, the shave and the pics were excellent.

 

I am sure you will figure it out.

 

Beautiful looking shave, Clint! Seems like I've been hearing a lot about Aquamarine as of late--sounds wonderful. Sorry to hear you're working on the weekend, but I suppose 'tis the season. Hope the day goes well
