SOTD MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, 2021
This morning I woke to a bright sunny morning in the Philadelphia suburbs. Effective tomorrow, the bride and I will be at the height of our resistance to the Covid virus as it will be two weeks since our second Moderna jab. Woohoo!!! After yesterday’s amazing shave with my new artisan masterpiece, ‘Bone Mosaic’ by Victor Creazzi, it was definitely time to go old school vintage. Today’s shave featured my two hundred year old H. Hobson Sheffield wedge 6/8 and the Gibbs #17 Adjustable, a very popular French safety razor in production from 1938 to the mid 1950s.
The mug full wedge straight shave was quite a contrast to my shave yesterday with Victor Creazzi’s full hollow grind. There was no ‘Buttering Toast’ refrain this morning. The wedge sheared through my whiskers in almost a spooky silence, quite a contrast to yesterday’s shave. Nevertheless, old man Hobson easily held his own in comparison, and delivered a dolphin smooth three pass mug shave. The dome shave was every bit as good. It’s my practice to shave all my adjustable safety razors wide open. This morning’s noggin shave confirmed why so many love this little French Adjustable, just no nonsense two pass ATG perfection that topped off a wonderful velveteen smooth refreshing shave.
RAZOR: H. Hobson Sheffield Wedge 6/8 (Mug), Gibbs Adjustable #17 (Dome)
BLADE: Modified Feather DE
