My new 5 blades stand/counter being already attached to the side of my bathroom cabinet,
it took a bit of imagination, and some precarious balancing act, to get it included in an SOTD.
So, brush and shaving products were not invited to appear in the photo.

The stars:
-> Blades stand/counter made by myself.
-> Triton blade # 2 (Photo before shaving)
-> Gillette New Standard Gold from 1922

The technical team:
-> Synthetic shaving brush "Nicoël".
-> Pre Shave made by Mr.LL
-> Meißner Tremonia Indian Flavour Soap and Balm Combo
-> Bay Rhum made by Gasp

Thanks so much Gary.

From the biggest to the smallest. The Saturday blade from this 4 day set provided a clear contrast to yesterday’s 9/8 shave. I normally shave every other day but shaved today to avoid some busy days next week. The 9/16 Lund seems better suited to one day of growth and gave me a chance to compare a narrower blade to a wide blade.

Two take-aways: An edge is still an edge and you can get a great shave regardless of the size. Second, I actually prefer the heavy, wide blade for the upper lip. The ATG pass is much easier as it plows through that tough stubble easier and doesn’t catch or skip as much as a lighter blade. A wonderful shave to start the weekend.

Happy shaving - Karl

DR Harris Arlington uber lather
Parker OC razor
Gillette Rubie ⚁
Semogue boar
Arlington AFS


I have only two sets of DR Harris soaps/creams: Sandalwood and Arlington. This Arlington is new for me: arrived yesterday. Very close to 4711 as most know.

Really slick - I think I had the best shave of the summer. I actually checked my razor head to make sure I had a blade loaded. A true ghost shave. What a great summer set. Why did I wait till I am almost dead to try this? Whew!

Tallow greatness

C U all tomorrow
