SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 25, 2021

Kind of a gloomy day here in the Philly suburbs, but the shave was definitely one to lift me out of the doldrums. The shave featured two fabulous shavers! The Witte Copperhead 6/8 holds a remarkable edge built solely on my jasper stone. It arrived over a year ago with a decent bevel, but needed a refresh. A series of successively more dilute slurries did the trick, finally ending on the UF side with water alone until the blade was sticking twice. I’ve never been able to duplicate that particular honing experience, and now use only the UF side of the jasper as just a finisher. The mug shave was the usual pleasant three pass affair that left me quite smooth.

The Fine Marvel safety razor is a remarkably efficient low cost safety razor that preceded their current World’s Finest SS safety razor, and is a superior performer in my opinion. At 25% of the cost of the SS safety offering, it’s a killer deal. As a pre-release reviewer of the stainless steel offering, I still find the Marvel razor’s shave to be superior to the latter. The head design consists of a rather healthy gap with a tightly arced neutral blade presentation. The shave feels quite mild, but at the same time is quite efficient. Two ATG passes easily put the baby to bed. I feel refreshed, clean, and velveteen smooth.
