S.O.T.D. Saturday 9th July to Friday 15th July 2016

Thu. 7/14/16








Today was my first shave with the Schick Fashion Razor and after three passes I am dolphin smooth but not with ease. I loaded this razor with a Twin blade and given the unorthodox shape of it I found it easy to figure out how to grip it whilst shaving. The problem for me is the inefficiency I encountered with this razor particularly XTG for my tough whiskers. The sheer amount of strokes required to mow down my growth even with a Twin blade made this shave feel too much like work rather than pleasure for me. Back to my trusty PAL Injecto-Matic tomorrow. Have a great day folks. :D

Phoenix & Beau is really fantastic. An extremely smooth, extremely close shave. This old wedge helps though - my oldest SR and one of my best. Continue to be impressed with the performance of P&B.

Bowl: Steve Woodhead Ceramics
Brush: Omega 'Mixed Midget'
Soap: The Fat
Razor: Newly acquired 1912 patent Ever Ready
Blade: Gem Stainless Steel
Music: Brian Eno 'Music For Airports'

I needed soothing sounds, in case there might have been a case of blood-letting; the 1912's debut and all that. Very careful - went for 2 passes and pretty smooth. Hope everyone's well

Today I had my best shave. I really like my Muhle R41 and using it daily. But now that I have shaved with the ATT R2, this will be my daily go to razor. It shaves so close and efficient. I am very pleased with this razor. BBS for sure.
