SOTD THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2020

Stropping at night has done wonders for my sleep, but is so unpleasant! But unfortunately, it is necessary. It’s just so much easier to drop a fresh blade into a safety razor. Anyway, after strapping a 3 lb weight to each forearm I launched into my face shave this morning . The Dovo no longer feels as alien in hand as it did a week ago. Straight shaving my face is no longer as tentative as it was, but still does not come close to the closeness I’ve come to expect from the 17 safety razors in my regular rotation. Today’s two pass (WTG, ATG) face shave was the best yet, but still required cleanup with my Eclipse Red Ring. I still don’t get the attraction so many of you have to this approach to shaving. But I get it, different strokes for different folks.

The easiest way to get through my straight shave each day is looking forward to the upcoming mug cleanup and dome shave that mark one more day towards my goal of being able to finally put the Dovo Special away in victory, and finally return to just safety razor shaving. The Eclipse Red Ring (ERR) is an adjustable highly efficient safety razor. It has never failed to deliver a superb velveteen BBS (VBBS), and this morning was no different. After cleaning up my beard lines and shearing away the remaining stubble around my Adam’s Apple, I launched into my usual two pass (WTG, ATG) noggin shave. The razor’s baseplate design was unique for its time, and has been appropriated by Classic Shaving’s Occam’s DE in the design for the aggressive plate for the latter razor. Using the ERR this morning was a joy that again delivered your smiling narrator to that cool, clean, refreshing velveteen BBS zone.
