    hi all!
    Did a 3 pass face 2 pass head shave this morning.
    Using my twisted devette...

    20201109_061004.jpg
    Really no reason for a 3 pass on the old gord with this tool.
    Unless your going to a wedding or important date, maybe.
    A small mole at the bottom of the neck.
    I normally miss it, this morning not so, didn't mean to so unceremoniously flatten it, but....
    I lathered up well and off it came, not much blood surprisingly enough.
    Well I won't miss it any more.
    Other than that, an uneventful shave.
    I'm clean, smooth and where I like to be.

    All
    Enjoy!

    SOTD MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 2020

    My new boar brush is just a great MWF lather builder. Many new to MWF give up on it because of lather building issues. It does take some time each morning to build a proper lather. It’s the ideal shave soap for an old retired fart who really enjoys taking his time on the morning shave. In my case I build two different lathers - a wetter, thinner face lather for my mug and a thicker, yogurty bowl lather for my dome. In both cases this new Sapele handled boar brush is a pleasure to use. The donated brand new Omega Pro48 knot just really works well for me. Some find it too large, but it works just beautifully for me. I now own two, this brush and my original Omega Pro48. They are my favorite brushes.

    The shave went well. The sweet spot for a straight razor for me is 6/8. The current fashion now for modern artisan builders is for these huge shave hatchets. I don’t get it, but hey, different strokes for different folks. Even my son, Ben, owns a couple, but I’ve always been a vintage guy. The Witte Copperhead 6/8 arrived as NOS and just really checks all the boxes for me. It’s a Solingen steel blade that holds a solid, whisker-melting, buttery smooth, jasper stone edge. This morning’s mug shave was ‘epic’ to quote one of my shave mentors at TSD. The dome shave was every bit as good. I used to shave my Rex Ambassador at 4, but have found as my straight shaving skills developed that I really enjoy shaving all my adjustables wide open. Blade feel is what it’s all about for me. I feel cool, clean and smoothly velveteen.

    RAZOR: Witte Solingen Copperhead 6/8 (Mug), Rex Ambassador (Dome)
    BLADE: Astra Platinum
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: Sapele/Acrylic Handle w/ New Omega Pro48 Boar Knot
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Chiseled Face Natural AS Splash

    Shave Soap & Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    Happy Monday. Weekends are entirely too short. I decided to break out the 47 SS for a few days. I bought this from Jospeh during one of his den clearing sales. I am not usually a fan of TTO razors. I just don't care for the shaves. This razor is the exception. Three passes with touch ups ended in an automatic drama free BBS shave. A splash of LEA Classic and I am off to help Maya load her car for the drive back to Lexington, KY. I hope everyone has a great Monday.
