    SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, 2020

    It was a bit of a difficult shave this morning. I fell and fractured two ribs on my right side playing pickle ball yesterday afternoon. So my shave was a bit painful! Looks like I’ll be sleeping sitting up for a few weeks. Nevertheless, despite all that, my shave this morning. I picked two razors I’ve enjoyed my shaves with, but have neglected of late, one a vintage straight razor, my Vintage Lord 6/8 with its buttery smooth jasper edge, and the other my Seki AS-D2 safety razor, a sadly misunderstood shaving tool.

    The AS-D2 is frequently referred to as a “mild” safety razor by those who have never taken the time to learn its very narrow sweet spot. However, equipped with a Feather DE which it was designed around, it can handle any beard type. I used mine to effortlessly take down two weeks of mug and dome growth after a hospitalization about a year ago. This morning’s shave while somewhat uncomfortable, easily delivered me to velveteen smoothness! I feel cool, clean, refreshed and velveteen.

    RAZOR: Lord 6/8 (Mug), Seki AS-D2 (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather DE
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 w/ 26mm Two Band Badger Ferrule
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub.

    Saturday's Shave

    GEM Jr. 1912
    GEM S/S PTFE (4)
    Grizzly Bay 'Crimson Tide'
    LEA Shaving Soap Stick
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    LEA Classic Aftershave

    It's Iron Bowl Saturday and one of my favorite days of the year. :happy036:

    My LEA travel lineup did a wonderful job once again. Two easy passes with the GEM Jr provided a comfortable and efficient shave this morning.

    Roll Tide!

    I enjoy my sous vide, the missus not so much. So I make my rib eye in the sous vide at 127, the one minute each side on the grill. Hers- on the grill the entire time. To each their own.

    Wolfman WR2 1.05mm
    Gillette 7 O’clock Yellow
    Zenith B27 Chubby Boar
    A&E The City
    Fine Santal Absolut Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    The Parker Adjustable is clean and ready for BST photos. The big Chubby Boar ate up The City whipping up a mountain of rich slick lather. I am enjoying this brush so much more than I recall. I loaded up the Wolfman WR2 with a new 7 O'clock yellow and went to work. Three passes and touch ups ended with the baby in hand. A splash of Fine Santal and I am ready to have a relaxing day watching football. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.
