Sunday: hot shower with rose scented bar soap (unknown brand) Badger Vetiver & Vanilla PSO Gillette RedTip 2+ passes Derby Premium (2) Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream in a warm bowl Jayaruh boar Thayers Rose WH TSD Victorian Rose A/S Not sure what the problem is but lately I can't seem to get my photo into my post on the first try. I hit the upload button and it acts like I'll get the box to choose the file I want and then it never pops up. I end up posting my reply and then going back in with the edit function and then it will let me add a photo. Maybe I'll try using Edge instead of Chrome. Anyhow, a nice shave this morning except I was in a hurry after neglecting to watch the clock. Starting to like this Badger PSO after using it a few times. It's very concentrated so you don't need very much. Have a great week fellow shavers!

SOTD MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2021 Today I shaved my mug with a Swedish Faux Frameback 4/8 that dates to between the 1880s- 1890s. These razors marked the point just prior to the appearance of Swedish hollow ground razors. The Faux frameback was a thin solid piece of steel to which an external spine was attached. I know a lot of folk like these razors, but I find the shave to be much less refined than the later hollow ground Swedish razors. Yes it gets the job done, but it is a much cruder shaving tool than a hollow ground straight IMHO. Three passes got the job done, but the shave just wasn’t as refined as say my Klas Tornblom 4/8 which is hollow ground and definitely provides a more comfortable, closer shave. A few years ago the 2011 Muhle R41 safety razor would be described as extremely aggressive and terms like “beast” were bandied about in describing it. Honestly, I believe the original handle the razor came with didn’t help matters. I was never happy with the grip it provided. My solution was to swap in a Weber Bulldog handle which made a great difference weight and balance-wise in hand for me. I find the razor to be an incredibly efficient dome shaver that when equipped with a sharp DE blade like a Feather leaves my dome velveteen smooth as it did this morning. In fact, my dome shave was without doubt closer and smoother than the mug shave this morning. RAZOR: CW Dahlgren 4/8 Faux Frameback (Mug), Muhle 2011 R41 Weber Bulldog Handle BLADE: Feather DE PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil BRUSH: Rooney Ebony Pure Badger CREAM: PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with PSC Caffeinated AS Balm.
