Thanksgiving Day Shave

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Razor: 5/8" Wade & Butcher "Special", Hollow, Spike Point

Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger

Überlather: Al Raz' Custom Shave Creme + Glycerin

Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer

Cologne: Penhaligon Opus 1870

Result: After a nice strenuous hike in the mountains with my wife on this crisp, Thanksgiving morning, I was prepped and ready for a nice treat. As most of us know, today is a special day in the US, and a special day calls for nothing short of a special hardware. The wade & Butcher is one of Glen's restores. Since I know the kind of edge that Glen put on this beauty, I know what to watch out for (last time, I almost killed myself ). However, a razor is just half of the shaving equation...a special razor requires the best überlather and I can't think of any better way of making it than by using one of the best shaving cremes in the market...i.e., "Da Bomb". The custom scent (Cloves, Orange and a hint of cinnamon) is truly intoxicating and very fitting, especially during the holidays. What a treat !!!! My face feels so smooth that I could even skip Friday's shave altogether...but, that ain't happening. Now, I am ready for tonight's eating frenzy.

*********************************


I wish all of you who celebrate this special day a very happy Thanksgiving holiday. Have a great one gentlemen. Make it count.

Robert,
this is a beautiful razor.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, friends!

Uber-nice Mikael. I love that blade. Very sleek . I really have come to enjoy my Neil Miller (linen) strop...in fact, so much so that I no longer use my webbed fabric strop

In today's photos I pay homage to the fine artisans whose exquisite soaps and creams are such a huge part of this daily ritual we like to call “shaving”. I further wish to express my deepest thanks to each of you for the big part you play in my small corner of the world. You make SRP great and You make the SOTD what it is; a right of passage, a circle of friends, a band of brothers. We come from different walks of life, have different occupations, beliefs, and our lives are as varied as the snow flakes that will fall in the upcoming winter months (at least in the Northern Hemisphere). Yet we find commonality of purpose and comradery in this “simple” life pleasure. We unite under this banner and find a better part of ourselves, a better part of others, and we take that part back to our daily lives and those around us. Thank you for being “the better part” for others and for yourself. Whether today you celebrate Thanksgiving or today is just Thursday, I am so very thankful for each of you! Cheers!

Glenn
