Very nice shave in Alabama today! Big Red just gets the job done. Awesome amount of great Figaro lather. The Occam's Safety Razor with an Astra took care of business. Three passes to smoothness. Finished it off with a splash of Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Lotion. Got a few things coming into the den today. I'll share some pics later on. Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!
SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4, 2020 My shave this morning during DX/Decision December was too danged good! I’ll probably be selling my Tradere, but this Rex Ambassador is definitely staying. It is just an excellent head shaver. On 6 and riding the cap with a Feather blade it delivered an awesome velveteen noggin result. The DX is definitely growing on me as well. The first few shaves with a Feather Super loaded taught me to avoid set down errors. This morning’s mug shave checked all the boxes. The two slow ATG passes put the baby to bed. I’m finding that I really prefer smaller straight shavers like the DX. For me, achieving a VBBS result above the jawline is easy, but doing so below with the swirling growth is a challenge with a longer bladed straight. Maneuvering with a shorter blade is easier and just works for me. I feel refreshed, clean and velveteen smooth! RAZOR: Feather Wood Handled DX (Mug), Rex Ambassador (Dome) BLADE: Feather Super AC (Mug), Feather DE (Dome) PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid Knot #007 SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Cremo Cooling Post Shave Balm.

Thank you Maestro! I am still in the Fred Flinstone era. I just placed the camera on top of a tub container and leaned it against the wall. I was hunched over a little bit. This morning, I tried something different. I raised the height of the phone by stacking 3 Stiirling tubs on top of a coffee mug. I had to finagle the angle of the camera so it wouldn't slide. However, I will put a reg dish rag on top of the tubs so the camera won't move or slide off.
Terrific shave Dale! I like TTO razors because they were the first razors I used when I was a teenager. Why don't you like TTO razors?
