SOTD FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 11, 2020

Welcome to Fatboy Wool Fat Friday! I was up early this morning and decided to pull my long neglected Fatboy out for this morning’s noggin shave. And as Monty Python was known to say as the opener to a sketch, “and now for something completely different!”. Although I had my first straight shave more than 5 yrs ago, there’s been quite a gap between that first shave and my straight shaves this year. So in addition to the Covid plague, 2020 has seen my return to straight shaving which for the most part has been with traditional folding western straight razors. For this morning’s mug shave I selected the Kai Captain Kamisori Clone and loaded a Feather Super.

My regular shave prep consists of a cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil. My soaking Viking Silvertip Badger whipped up the two kinds of MWF lathers I enjoy after exiting the shower. The shave that followed was excellent. After my punishment by the Shave Gods yesterday morning, I took particular care not to aggravate the site of my punishment and completed a velveteen close three pass (WTG, ATG, XTG) mug shave. The dome shave was a surprise! Usually my Fatboy delivers a ‘meh’ shave, but for whatever reason, opened up to 9, it sheared through the noggin whiskers with aplomb in two (ATG, ATG) passes, leaving me cool, clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth!
