SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 26, 2020
This morning’s shave was much less pressured than yesterday’s. In the interest of variety, I rolled right back into my standard rotation and selected the reliable Puma 88 5/8 straight razor for the mug and the trusty Ronson safety razor for the dome. SWMBO left early this morning for a 60 mile bike ride. Since I’m still recovering from my broken ribs I was excused and freed up to use my Indian version of Old Spice AS which to my untrained nose smells virtually the same as my hoarded Shelton original version.
The MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handle hybrid knot #007 is and has been one of my favorites since it’s arrival in my den. It possesses just the right combination of backbone and softness to generate the two types of lather I enjoy for my shaves. The thinner, wetter face lather was just perfect for the Puma which sheared away my mug whiskers easily. I removed the twin blade from the Ronson and loaded the usual Schick Proline B-20 injector blade. The resulting yogurty, bowl-lathered dome shave with this wonderful, head-heavy little safety razor was exactly as expected. I feel clean, velveteen smooth, refreshed, and smell - yes 30DC unbelievers - good!
RAZOR: Puma 88 5/8 (Mug), Ronson Safety Razor (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Proline B-20 Injector
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid Knot #007
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
