SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, 2021

Welcome to Wool Fat Friday! This morning I opted for a traditional Fatboy Wool Fat Friday shave. Although admittedly not a fan of Gillette TTO’s, I find the head design on the Fatboy to be bulky and awkward. But this morning’s dome shave, while not up to the standards of the Shake Sharp or even the Gibbs Adjustables with their slimmer head geometry, provided an acceptably close noggin shave in two ATG passes. 

Our Evan (@MrEE) at TSD, in my opinion, builds fabulous LE aluminum shaving brush handles. I own three (two fitted with synthetic knots and the third with a hybrid natural knot), and they’re rapidly becoming my regular gotos. The MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth used today is aptly named. It’s huge and generated an explosion of lather. It was easily more than I needed, and in the process retired my old puck of MWF.  

The clear highlight of the shave, however, was my newly acquired Herder 49 15/16. I’m really enjoying this razor! I was initially put off by the blade size, but the weight, heft in hand and overall balance make this razor an absolute delight to shave with. Three slow, extremely enjoyable passes after beginning, and my mug felt refreshed, clean and porcelain smooth! Me likee!!!

English Leather aftershave (vintage)

The old soap made fairly good lather but required a lot of work. The lather was quite slick but with not much cushion. Its matching aftershave is less sweet than others of the same era (e.g. Brut, Jade East), with prominent base notes of leather, musk, and especially vetiver; I guess the citrus top notes have disappeared over time, despite it being NOS.
