SOTD WEDNESDAY MAY 6, 2020


I had intended to shave with a different razor this morning. But yesterday’s shave was so great that I felt the need to repeat! The Big Fellow is a highly efficient shaver that delivers what has turned out to be an effortless BBS. Yesterday’s soap, however, was awful for me scent-wise. I know it’s quite popular with some folks, ‘eau de lumberyard’ just doesn’t do it for me.  

I really like Soap Commander ‘Honor’. Especially after adding 6 drops of M-Bomb. Following my iced water rinse, it paired beautifully with the Jayaruh Custom Silver Badger Rosewood brush to generate a thick, cooling, yogurty lather. Two and a half passes (WTG, ATG, ATG) put the baby to bed with the final half pass again just consisting of some selective face and noggin buffing. Another effortless, bloodless BBS with some very minor heat revealed with the alum block below my Adam’s Apple. I feel clean, cool, smooth and refreshed.

RAZOR: Gillette Big Fellow (1920 vintage)
BLADE: Suneko (1)
PREP: Iced water rinse 
BRUSH: Jayaruh Rosewood Handled Silvertip Badger 
SOAP: Soap Commander Honor w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
