Today starts an Above the Tie trilogy; an S2 slant DE, an SE2 open comb AC format razor and in the last pairing for Phase 2 an ATT R2 medium DE vs a Fatip Piccolo. When it comes to modern razors I have yet to find one I don't really love. The S2 even preformed better in Phase 1 than my Gillette Senator which for a long time was my absolute favorite open comb razor.
Today's shave was just another great Above the Tie shave; a smooth, effortless, comfortable, two pass and very minor touchup PDG+ near perfect shave. This is one of the razors that always leaves me wishing I could find something more to mow down. It is one I was lucky enough to find listed in a BST post and one I really am glad to have found. It was my gateway entry into the ATT razors and now there are almost a half dozen of them living with me. Feels like the old days when a rugby team came to town.
Today's ritual was out of the shower, brush hair back and use a cable tie to hold in a pony tail (a little maybe 10 year old girl shopping for school supplies with her mom taught me how to do that in the middle of the aisle in Walgreens; me on my knees, she standing behind me and twisting my hair up into a rope while she explains that "My hair is too skinny! "And even first graders know how to make a pony tail! " and her mom laughing). For soap it was more Old Spice but with a Stag pure badger brush. Stag was a Rexall house brand along with Rex and Kleenzo IIRC but I find it generally makes great lather.
After the shave it was a rub down with the alum block, one last search for the missing hare that hopped away when I tried to get it, then a dab of Pre de Provence followed by some Clubman.

To be vintage it must be older than me!
The last razor I bought was the next to last razor I will ever buy!
