Muhle Razor, Pre de Provence, Aqua Velva
I went into TJ Max the other day to shop. I found an AOS/Muhle razor sitting at the bottom of a bunch of men's hygiene supplies. It was $20 buck so I said sold. I never really liked DE razors all that much. They were fine, but could not beat a good straight razor. My thoughts changed somewhat when I used this DE. I am not even sure of the model number. It was not written on the box.

SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11, 2020
Although the day was dreary, my shave certainly wasn’t. I realize that the theme this month has been Open Comb (OC) October. The safety razor I selected for my dome shave has a very unique head design. The LaResche 77 was designed with what can only be described as a reverse open comb (ROC) head design. The highly arched head design has influenced modern artisans either directly or through later design mods (e.g. Italian Barber’s BBS). The razor is somewhat rare, but delivers an exquisitely close shave as my dome attests this morning. For my mug shave, I chose my somewhat newly acquired Saito SK3. This is my second outing with this smiling blade which left me smiling as well with the results. My son owned two; now I own his less desirable model. Regardless, it delivered a great shave which in combination with the LaResche 77 left me smooth, refreshed, clean and velveteen.
RAZOR: R. Saito SK3 (Mug), LaResche 77 (Dome)
BLADE: Polsilver
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Argan Oil
BRUSH: JR Rosewood Two Band Badger #378
CREAM: TOBS Peppermint
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with PAA Frost Byte AS Splash.

SOTD MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 2020
I own three Japanese straight razors. I shaved with the Tanifuji Airi two days ago, the R. Saito SK3 yesterday. This morning I selected the Nichiri Tokusen by Diamond Hayashi. I really love its buttery soft edge, and today it didn’t disappoint. Just a whisker-meltingly two pass WTG, ATG) great mug shave. Last Monday was Monobilt Monday at TSD. The dome shave that day was excellent! So after my great face shave I pulled out the Cooper Monobilt, and experienced another excellent two pass (ATG, ATG) dome shave. Both shaves were facilitated by the slick Baume.Be lather carpet generated by my MrEE Knurled Aluminum brush! I feel smooth, clean and velveteen on this rainy Monday!
RAZOR: D.H. Nichiri Tokusen 6/8 (Mug), Cooper Monobilt (Dome)
BLADE: Polsilver (2)

SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 2020
Another dreary, rainy day here in the Philly suburbs serving as foil for a tremendous shave. The NOS Witte Solingen Copperhead 6/8 arrived with an accompanying note in the coffin case stating, “honed by Henerey 1939”. The bevel was still in surprisingly good condition. After a touch up on the jasper stone, the shave turned out to be a blissfully smooth two pass (WTG, ATG) pleasure that put the baby to bed and tucked her in. My dome shave was every bit as good and featured my silver plated Valet Auto Strop VB2. After stropping the FAS-10 carbon steel blade the safety razor demonstrated why this model lasted 42 years until the advent of the SS DE blade rendered its stropping function obsolete. Nevertheless, it’s a remarkable shaver and with the enclosed freshly stropped carbon steel Feather FAS-10 blade delivered a two pass (ATG, ATG) shave leaving me feeling smooth, clean and velveteen.
RAZOR: Witte Solingen Copperhead 6/8 (Mug), Valet Auto Strop Model VB2 (Dome)

PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Argan Oil
