SOTD - December 2021

Don't worry it's no longer an Unmentionable. 
Here's the photo evidence. 

Interesting, I see what you did there. Nice !

Festival of Feather Weights! (Day 7 of 7)
DE-less-cemBoar (™Wchnu)

Cold Water Shave w/ Hot Water Lather
Pre - Hot Shower
Razor - Gem Gen. I Feather Weight
Blade - Gem SS PTFE (10th and Final Use)
Brush - Omega 66 Boar
Lather - Col. Conk (Bay Rum), Face Lathered
Post - Generic Reformed Alum Block, T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel, Aqua Velva Musk, Nivea Sensitive Skin & Stubble Balm


The Festival of Feather Weights ended spectacularly with a wonderful fireworks display!   And, it also ended with the smoothest of the two pass shaves thus far with these razors. All I needed was some more experience and hopefully in the future I'll continue to remember the lessons I've learned this week. 

For another inexpensive soap, I like using the Col. Conk Bay Rum. It produced a good lather and I like the smell.

A short report tonight after spending a good chunk of the day dealing with leaves. We've got rain coming and I wanted to get them up before they get matted down in the grass.

Hope everybody has a great week!

Fantastic Featherweight festival finalization results. That's awesome. Glad you conquered the beast. Now you should ha e the confidence to learn what it takes to tame most any razor.

December 5th shave

   

[Dave in KY]

Monday DecemBOAR 6, 2021
Razor: Gem Damaskeene
Blade: Gem SS
Brush: Spartan Special/Zenith Boar
Soap: Stirling Faskally
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Nivea Deep
Fragrance: Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1125

What a great shave with the Damaskeene and a Gem SS Blade. Smooth and irritation free magnificence. I knew I'd never get thru the month on Unmentionables alone......The new release by Rod Faskally is a perfect match to Tom Ford Grey Vetiver and has the typical stellar Stirling performance we all know and love. Time for a new week.......Let's kick this pig and Have a tremendous day Folks !

Just a quick and gentle clean-up this morning. Didn't have time to play much with the photography today either.

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Green Shave Soap
Jayaruh 423 2-band Badger
Christy Safety Razor
Personna Injector
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Osage Rub

The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh 423 2-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Christy Safety Razor with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I used Humphrey's Witch Hazel while I cleaned up, then I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
