SOTD MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 2021

The Ellis and Allan 8/8 Stubtail focus continues with increasing success on this Micromatic Monday after Easter’s celebration yesterday! The mug shave is settling in as I learn the ins and outs of this 200+ year old razor. The three pass shave was excellent, giving me the opportunity to again truly appreciate master restorer, Glen Mercurio’s work.  

His selection of bone scales, an amber wedge, brass pins and the beautiful custom period beehive washers by Austin Kennedy are all in keeping with that time in history. But it’s the silence of the shave that sets this old razor in good company with my H. Hobson, another old, solid Sheffield cast steel wedge. I do enjoy the shave quality of early wedge design straight razors.

The dome shave featured a superb example of Gem bladed safety razors, my Micromatic OC. These razors never fail to deliver an extremely close satisfying shave, particularly when loaded with a PTFE coated blade. This capable little safety razor and it’s successor, the ClogPruf, really deliver the goods in two very pleasant ATG passes. I feel, refreshed, cool and dolphin smooth!

RAZOR: Ellis & Allan 8/8 (Mug), Gem Micromatic OC
BLADE: Pella PTFE Gem 
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil 
BRUSH: JT Sapele/Resin Handled Omega Pro48 Boar 
SOAP: Fine Snake Bite 
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Fine Snake Bite AS Splash.

A very nice right-down-the-middle shave to start the day off on a level set.  The Maleki remains a wonderful treat.  What a great scent!  I was glad to be able to grab a couple spares on the recent re-release.  Steady-on.

Happy Shaves Gentlemen....

Just a couple drops of the Moroccan Rose livened up the facing scent of the old Floris soap. The blade remains sharp and smooth. The aftershave is good but just a bit too heavy with the vetiver for my tastes.
