SOTD MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 2021 Woke up to a bright sunny morning. Selected the Dubl Duck 6/8 Goldedge and the SS Supply V2 Injector. Stropped the straight razor and had an excellent three pass mug shave. The edge on this razor is holding up nicely. I felt a bit of tugging on the third pass. So this beauty is going to the stones for a touchup. The Supply Injector cleared away the dome stubble in the usual two pass ATG passes. I'm really amazed at the efficiency of the latter safety razor when loaded with a regular Schick Proline blade. With a Twinjetor blade it's an amazing shaver. Just another excellent shave, I feel refreshed, clean and nicely smooth. RAZOR: Dubl Duck 6/8 (Mug), SS Supply V2 (Dome) BLADE: Schick Twin Injector PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil BRUSH: MrEE LE Knurled Aluminum Handled Hybrid Knot #007 CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphrey's Lilac WH.

Yesterday was a no shave day and a very busy day as well. Famex Caged Head Razor Astra SP (fresh) Delrin handle synthetic brush Soap Commander Honor shave soap and matching balm. Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Lotion Since the Rockwell mini focus is over I decided to break out the Famex that Dave @Dave in KY has so graciously loaned to me. The Soap Commander was awesome this morning. I completed three drama free passes with the Famex. I really like this razor. A little witch hazel followed by the balm. I let the balm dry down and then added a little splash of Clubby. Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.
Fantastic shave Jim! Too bad about the snow forecast. Hopefully, it won't be too much precipitation. Have a great day!

The MMBT just delivers a super close shave. A fantastic three pass shave with the MMBT. I am smooth and smelling good for the incoming YUTES that are returning to the building full time today. We have a beautiful sunny day here on LI which is just right up Joe's, @Trigger, alley. Perhaps he will have the day off to go to the gym and for a long walk around Heritage Park. Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.
Very nice shave Patrick. I can relate to the challenges of trying to keep up. I, like you, have been busy with outdoor chores, extra curricular activities and my son's sporting events to name a few.
