Good day Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.


Late post and shave today. Took the day off. We normally get a day off for our birthday but instead of taking it yesterday I waited until today in order to have a five-day holiday weekend (we get tomorrow and Monday off as well). Went back to "Vespers" for today's shave. Fantastic scent for the season and for the colder months ahead. And the lather is exceptional! No plans for today. Just taking care of some thigs here at the house.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Truly classic lather from this cream! Love the scent and the cooling sensation
Razor and blade combination is good but the blade is getting less efficient...

SOTD CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING, DECEMBER 24, 2021

Busy day today, but the morning shave checked all the boxes. The Ellis &Allan “Edgar Allan Poe” 8/8 stubtail took care of my mug stubble, although I will admit wielding this behemoth takes care. Three and a half passes were necessary to clean up the mug for church tonight. The Eclipse Red Ring did its usual two pass ATG noggin sweep, and all was right with the world. I’m clean and velveteen from noggin to shoulders. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! May the love and peace of Christ warm your hearts and see you through to the next year! God bless you all!

RAZOR: Ellis & Allan “Edgar Allan Poe” Stubtail 8/8 (Mug), Eclipse Red Ring (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 with 26mm Boar Ferrule
CREAM: Castle Forbes Lime
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Cremo Cooling Post Shave Balm.

This is my traditional Christmas Eve shave. The scent of Cella reminds me of some of the Italian Christmas cookies that I grew up with. I always use my Vintage Gillette Toggle that I had plated in Rhodium a few years back by my good friends Chris & Cap. It’s my favorite Vintage razor and will never leave my den and one day be passed on to my son. Wishing everyone who celebrates Christmas a great time with family and friends! ️

SOTD 2021-12-23
Pre-shave: Col. Conk Amber
Lather: Cella
Brush: Vintage something with a synthetic knot
Razor: GEM Micromatic OC
Blade: PAL Blue Carbon
Post-shave: Nivea Sensitive balm

Thus far, I have only shaven with Personna GEM PTFE blades which are usually very smooth. I decided to try a few different types of blades, just to see how they perform. I went with the PAL Blue Carbon today. It cut alright for the most part but was definitely way tuggier than a PTFE. I went with it and finished a three-pass shave achieving a DFS- result. I'm going to try this blade one more time to see if it mellows out but I'm not holding out much hope. Oh well. It was worth trying. Happy shaves!
