SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4, 2020
My shave this morning during DX/Decision December was too danged good! I’ll probably be selling my Tradere, but this Rex Ambassador is definitely staying. It is just an excellent head shaver. On 6 and riding the cap with a Feather blade it delivered an awesome velveteen noggin result. The DX is definitely growing on me as well. The first few shaves with a Feather Super loaded taught me to avoid set down errors. This morning’s mug shave checked all the boxes. The two slow ATG passes put the baby to bed. I’m finding that I really prefer smaller straight shavers like the DX. For me, achieving a VBBS result above the jawline is easy, but doing so below with the swirling growth is a challenge with a longer bladed straight. Maneuvering with a shorter blade is easier and just works for me. I feel refreshed, clean and velveteen smooth!

BLADE: Feather Super AC (Mug), Feather DE (Dome)

SOTD Friday 12.04.20
Razor: RR Gamechanger 84, with UFO handle
Blade: Personna Red (6)
Brush: Simpson Polo 10
Pre-shave: Hot Water Splash
Soap: C&F “Old Goat”
Post: Ethos Succes Splash
Whoa Nellie! The Polo 10 is a beast! (Thanks Richard). I scooped a generous amount of soap and the resulting lather was profuse. The brush and the CC ceramic bowl were full in no time at all. Yowza! Great slick soap with a wonderful scent that’s complex, mild, very interesting and masculine. I tried leaving a very thin (i.e., diluted) layer of the soap on my face to serve as a “post shave” balm, letting it dry before applying the splash. This worked like a charm.
Happy Shaves and Holidays to All!
