Thanks Jeff. I always enjoy seeing your beautiful gear and reading your posts. May 2021 bring many blessings for you and your family.
Most welcomed Jeff. The camel bone scales which Glen put on my CV H are absolutely beautiful. You will not be disappointed. I will look forward to your eventual visit to LI and a breakfast with Joe and I
Best wishes to everyone who has committed to NB21. I may purchase an occasional item this year, but I'm fairly content with what I currently have. I'm more interested in improving my technique and having fun (being perpetually smooth and smelly) than collecting. As the newly minted 30DC FragBubba, I may also explore some new fragrances.
Thanks Joe. I'm still smiling thinking about you, @JACarbone, and @jgreenepa meeting for breakfast. What a great trio, and I can only imagine the ruckus that will ensue...
SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 2021 Apologies for the MWF glare from the overhead chandelier in this very early morning shot! My 2021 kickoff shave featured the Wade & Butcher 7/8 for the mug and the Shake Sharp Model 1.5 with the Bakelite handle for the dome! Software included my regular MWF, the Viking Silvertip Badger and the Spanish version of Aqua Velva. I’ve begun finishing all my straight razors on the new Naniwa 12k super stone Christmas present from SWMBO with a final polish on the incredible jasper stone. The resulting edge on this W&B was buttery smooth leading to glorious red-liquid-free velveteen smooth mug shave. The Shake Sharp smoothed away the dome stubble leaving me smiling with the kind of shave I know I’ll keep feeling over the course of the day! The sting-free Aqua Velva application gave testament to this first great 2021 kickoff shave! I wish all my shave brothers and sisters a happy, healthy and enjoyable year! RAZOR: Wade & Butcher 7/8 (Mug), Shake Sharp Model 1.5 (Dome) BLADE: 2 Stacked Feather DE PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Williams Aqua Velva (Spanish Version)
