Have a great day!

[b]SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 28, 2020[/b]

I’d like to thank Trigger and my son, Ben for a truly epic (trademark @Keithmax) shave this morning. My straight razor mug shaves to date with two exceptions, had been frustratingly incomplete requiring me to finish up my neck with a safety razor. After reviewing a video Trigger provided yesterday and receiving some direct coaching last night from my son while finishing a plastering job, I achieved my first perfect facial VBBS.

I carefully burnished the edge of the Dubl Duck Goldedge (DDG) last night with a series of pull strokes at Ben’s suggestion on the jasper stone until I achieved a mirror-like sheen and finished with 10 strokes on the paddle strop. The Rearden Razor synth brush whipped up a glorious wet, slick, cooling MWF lather. The shave with the DDG was nothing sort of glorious. But the best part was shearing away the recalcitrant stubble on either side of my AA with a new scissor hold that resulted in an epic three pass (WTG, ATG, XTG) VBBS straight shave!

For my dome shave, I selected my long neglected DLC coated SS RazoRock Lupo, Ruds Shaves’s pick for 2019 safety razor of the year. As I’ve said before, I own too many superb safety blade holders. Loaded with a fresh Nacet, the Lupo cleaned up the dome in one and 1/2 passes ( ATG, ATG) leaving me with a matching VBBS noggin shave! I feel refreshed, cool, clean and very smoothly velveteen!

RAZOR: Dubl Duck Goldedge (Mug), RazoRock DLC Coated SS Lupo
BLADE: Nacet DE (1)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
BRUSH: Rearden Razor 316L SS Synthetic
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Cremo Cooling Balm.

Thank you.
