SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2, 2021

Not much to say about today’s shave! Japanese Silver Steel really holds an edge, and the Tanifuji Airi 11/16, although small and dainty, is a true whisker melter! Two sessions on the pasted linen strops and one on leather to finish when combined with my regular three pass MWF protocol, resulted in a polished, almost shiny mug shave surface. The Japanese know how to make a straight razor. After lathering up the gourd, I grabbed my little Ronson safety razor, a deceptively head-heavy shaving tool fitted with a Schick Proline B-20 Injector blade, and blazed through my noggin stubble effortlessly. This little safety razor is remarkably efficient, and really delivered the velveteen goods. The Krampert’s Frostbite was the perfect counterpoint to the almost foot of snow deposited outside my window. I feel clean, velveteen smooth, and quite cool. Time to shovel in front of the garage and our front walkway.

RAZOR: Tanifuji Airi 11/16 (Mug), Ronson Safety Razor (Dome)
BLADE: Schick Proline B-20 Injector
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil 
BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid Knot #007
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat 
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash.

Thank you, Celestino. The brush is a beauty. I'm a fan of Grizzly Bay handles. I try not to look at the Friday drops because I know I'll end up with another if I do.
