Terribly Ostentatious Traditional Wetshaving Expeperience? Tired Of Troublesome Woolfat Encounters? Tabac Or Tabac What Else?
SOTD SUNDAY AUGUST 16, 2020 My shave today was identical to yesterday’s with two equipment changes. I swapped out the Feather Proguard AC for a Feather Super AC in the Kai Kamisori Clone. And secondly I changed the handle back to the original aluminum one. With the Feather Super loaded, I was able to achieve a bloodless face and neck VBBS with no need for safety razor cleanup. Tom’s Torqued razor (TTR) delivered the same level of shave to my head, albeit with two tiny nicks on the back of my dome. Proraso Styptic Gel easily took care of things leaving me feeling clean, velveteen and cool! RAZOR: Kai Kamisori Clone (Mug), Tom’s Torqued Razor (Dome) BLADE: Feather Super AC (Mug), Feather DE (Dome) PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Rabid Banana Preshave Cube BRUSH: Rooney Ebony Pure Badger SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Chiseled Face Natural Menthol AS Splash
Thanks, Joe! Ironically, I enjoyed the Kamisori much more than the safety razor, of course, I’ve never been a fan of slant razors.
Fabulous shave Andrew. The description of the cottage on the coast of Maine sounds wonderful. I have never been to Maine. Toyed with the idea of going up there this summer but this darn COVID nonsense and the rearrange of lacrosse tournaments interfered. Perhaps I may pick your thought for next summer.
