I was really excited to try this 40s OS puck for the first time. Alas, it appears it is too old. The scent is ‘off’ and it has turned.
Have a great night all!

Day 12 of 3D Printed Razor Month.

I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 2021

There’s no question about it! I’m on a Japanese straight razor tear! My son, Ben, gave me this NOS Diamond Hayashi Nichiri Tokusen 1000 6/8 straight razor a few years ago. He has a huge Japanese razor collection and this was one of two NOS razors he had picked up on a business trip to Japan. He spent a day in Seki City and shipped home almost 30 razors, and it was part of that batch. This was back when I was first learning my way around a hone, so he ran it through his jnat progression. The blade is made from “First Quality Swedish Steel”, or is it says on the tang and I’ve yet to need to touch up the edge. The shave was superb!

The razor glided through the wonderful MWF lather built with the transplanted Omega Pro48 boar knot my Canuckian friend, Jason, placed in the exquisite Sapele/Resin handle he crafted for me a year or so ago. Jason’s a school superintendent who turns beautiful shave brushes and bowls as a hobby. We both share a dislike of Tabac products that a mutual Kentucky hillbilly friend of ours adores. I’ll admit that Tabac soap has a great lather and post shave feel, it’s the ‘old lady handbag” scent that I can’t abide. YMMV! Two and a half MWF passes left me dolphin smooth.

This morning’s noggin shave featured the only high end Autostrop safety razor Henry Gaisman ever produced, the silver plated model VB2. I used to have a very large Autostrop, but over the years have sold all my A and B models. This is one of my five remaining Valet Model C razors. Autostrops are fantastic shavers. And this razor didn’t disappoint this morning. I stropped the carbon steel Feather FAS-10 blade prior to the noggin shave in the razor as designed. The two pass ATG dome shave checked all the boxes leaving me velveteen smooth from shoulders to noggin.

RAZOR: DH Nichiri Tokusen 6/8 (Mug), Valet Autostrop Model VB2 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather FAS-10 Carbon Steel (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: JT Sapele/Resin Handled Omega Pro48 Boar Knot
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash.
