I loaded the blade into this razor 2 years ago and have had only a handful of shaves with it as it feels strange using a twin blade in what is to me ......a single blade razor!
The 2 passes gave a really superb result. (I know it was 2 years as the first time I used it was the weekend my wife and I got engaged!)

It is actually a Georgetown Pottery scuttle. Hot water fills the scuttle, a double-walled bowl, keeping the contents of the bowl warm. Warm lather throughout the shave. The bottom of the bowl is textured to help foster a thick lather.
Here is a link to their website. It can also be found on Amazon.
 
After two days at work and unable to get razor to face the theme for my shave this evening was 'Not staying deprived'

And to take up on the challenge of @Digimonkey I give you this very sad state of affairs. But at least it must be the first SOTD you can sing along to





Well, you can tell by the way I use my Hone
I'm a woman's man, no time to moan
Lather thick and water warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was shorn
And now it's alright, it's okay
And been without a shave for two day
You can try to understand
The fluffy face effect on a man

Whether I have reason to druther, or whether a reason other
I'm not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Hear the bristles breakin' and facial hair shakin'
I'm not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Ah, ha, ha, ha, not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Ah, ha, ha, ha, not staying deprived

Well now I can get shaved and I can get high
And if I can't get either, I might even cry
Got the feather blade in my brass Hone
I'm a shavin' man and too much grown
You know it's alright, it's okay
I lived to shave on this particular day
Many folk will never understand
The mind inside a Cadman fan

Whether I have reason to druther, or whether a reason other
I'm not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Hear the bristles breakin' and facial hair shakin'
I'm not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Ah, ha, ha, ha, not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Ah, ha, ha, ha, not staying deprived

Smooth face goin' nowhere, Penhaligon help me
Bayolea help me, yeah
Smooth face goin' nowhere, two days without a shave, yeah
I'm not staying deprived

Well, you can tell by the way I use my Hone
I'm a woman's man, no time to moan
Lather thick and water warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was shorn
And now it's alright, it's okay
And been without a shave for two day
And now I have time to understand
The Ermenegildo Zegna effect on a man

Whether I have reason to druther, or whether a reason other
I'm not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Hear the bristles breakin' and facial hair shakin'
I'm not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Ah, ha, ha, ha, not staying deprived, not staying deprived
Ah, ha, ha, ha, not staying deprived

Smooth face goin' nowhere, Penhaligon help me
Bayolea help me, yeah
Smooth face goin' nowhere, two days without a shave, yeah
I'm not staying deprived

Etc etc etc and repeat until bored (as if you are not already)

Yup, two days plus out at work on the river and feeling like a very hairy badger (nearly said beaver there) so this evening brought a great feeling of elation and euphoria with a damn fine shaving work out. Smoother than John Travolta and smelling finer than his underpants after the sweaty dance routines.

Saturday night fever or whatever, nothing quite gives the same effect as some Japanese techno disco thrash for me




And to all you fine folk of this fine forum may you all have fine weekends............and back to work in the morning for another three days :(
