SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 2021

Edgar Allan Poe was a wastrel, a substance abuser and an incredible burden to his stepfather, John Allan, a Scotsman, of the Richmond, Va. Import/Export Mercantile Firm of Ellis and Allan, established in 1800, who became a naturalized citizen in 1804. He and his wife took young Poe in following the death of his mother, Olivia Poe, in 1812. She was an opera singer and friend of Allan’s wife. In 1815 Poe accompanied Allan and his wife to England where he managed the export of British products for the firm, returning in 1820 following the Panic of 1819 which eventually led to the failure of Ellis and Allan in 1824.

Nevertheless, this giant stubtail Sheffield blade 8/8 survived from that hallowed firm as an unsharpened blade blank until 2021, when it came under the capable ministrations of Mr. Glen Mercurio (GSSIXGUN), proprietor of the well known Sandpoint ID razor beauty spa. Glen restored, honed and clothed the blade in bone scales using custom period beehive brass washers and pins. It is one big honkin’ chunk of steel, but is incredibly well-balanced in hand, and delivers an excellent mug shave as it did this morning in two and a half passes, leaving yours truly surprisingly smooth.

My friend, David Place, a well-respected collector of vintage shaving arcana and a fine southern gentleman, always had great things to say about his favorite vintage safety razor, the Ronson, after listening to me rant about my beloved Shake Sharps. So I bought one well over a year ago on his recommendation and have not regretted the purchase. Both razors were designed as thrifty, self-sharpening alternatives for the thicker carbon steel DE blades of the 1930s, and both became moot with the advent of thinner, sharper non-proprietary, stainless steel blades. In any case, my two pass ATG dome shave with my Ronson safety razor this morning was terrific and left me velveteen smooth from noggin to shoulders.

RAZOR: Ellis & Allan Stubtail 8/8 (Mug), Ronson Safety Razor (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Proline B-20 Injector (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE LE Aluminum Handle SynBad Knot #005
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Williams Aqua Velva (Spanish Version).

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Mystic Water Cedar & Sage Shave Soap
Jayaruh #144 Finest Badger
Raptor 3D
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Cella ASB

Day 5 of 3D Printed Razor Month.

The Mystic Water Cedar & Sage Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #144 Finest Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Raptor 3D Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Friday morning’s Mega Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 10
MSC Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
MSC Wintergreen AS Splash

Guys, this Wintergreen soap and aftershave were both custom made for me by Fernando and they’re a menthol lover’s dream come true. The soap is tallow based like all his soaps, the scent is delicious - exactly the same as Stirling Glacial Wintergreen, the lather is so thick, rich, as well as super slick, the menthol sensation is just as potent, and the skincare is perfect. The Glacial Wintergreen balm moisturized, soothed, and froze my face even more, and Fernando’s Wintergreen aftershave is another menthol atom bomb with such a gorgeous scent - is it ever soothing and it’ll bring “tears of joy” to your eyes. The soap and aftershave are unlabelled because as I said, they were custom made for me. What a dynamite shave this was - so BBS and enjoyable!


Have a great weekend - be well and safe!
