S.O.T.D. Saturday 31st January to Friday 6th February 2015

[Ben88]

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave - sensitive
Soap: Granstaff - Illipe & Cocoa butter
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: Traditional Shaving Co. - Pure Badger
Razor: ATT S2 + Weber Bulldog
Blade: Sputnik (1)
After: Barbershop Bay Rum, Village Barber ASB

First time use of the ATT open comb slant. Again very, very smooth like the straight bar version. I think it's a tad smoother and is better around my chin but that might be because I've had practice with the S1 recently.

You can see in the photo how the head is designed. The RHS is built up higher than the LHS. Where the teeth are inline with the bottom of the baseplate on the RHS, they gradually slope down going along the comb until they're lower than the baseplate at the far side (i.e. same as the LHS in the photo)

Haven't used a badger brush in quite a while and wished I'd just stuck with pig, horse or plastic.

End results, maybe smoother than the S1 but need more use to be sure.

Mike, fancy selling me the S1 if you prefer the open comb? :icon_wink:

Nice try, Ben but it's only been 4 shaves in so far and it'll take a lot longer for me to decide; plus you'd be asking me to choose one of my children over the other
Anyhow a baseplate would be no use to you without a slant cap and I've only got one of those.

SOTD - 'Fat' Tuesday
Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: Mitchell's Wool FAT
Brush: Rubberset-400 replica with 24mm boar
Razor: Edwin Jagger Barley Chatsworth
Blade: Vintage Iridium (1)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by USB & Village Barber balm
Face needed a bit of a scrub this morning, so whipped out my R400 boar and took to face-lathering the FAT. It's been too long since I've taken MWF out for a spin. This stuff is awesome!
Great scent, super slick, and great skin after-care. EJ razor has the same head as the DE89 but has my all-time favorite handle. Smooth and clean, but sharp! "Rico Suave"
