  As those who follow my SOTDs know, I shave a woefully small amount of times in comparison to my involvement in this hobby. It’s not really by choice—as the primary caregiver of a 10 month old any time not making sure she doesn’t hurl herself into something dangerous is spent working.

  Like so many, I am cursed with coarse, wiry hair and sensitive skin. And when you shave every 7-14 days, that becomes something approximating a beard. An uncomfortable, wiry, mess of a beard.

  I had been dealing with this with the OCMMOC but the problem was it kept getting clogged with this hair, and unless I rinsed it constantly (sometimes even having to take the blade out), I would get horrible, irritating shaves.

  Honestly this didn’t really make me want to shave much anymore, compounding the problem.

  This morning I had an epiphany—what if the Clog Pruf was more than just an oddly named razor, but truly was clog pruf? Or proof? Or whatever?

  First stroke of the razor I knew I had found my new best friend. Instead of hair getting jammed up underneath the blade and impacting its cutting power, the Pruf channeled these long whiskers into its two large openings near the handle. It was fascinating to see this line of used lather and long whiskers just streaming down into the sink without even having to rinse the razor.

  Really pleased I rediscovered this razor, and will have to keep it at the top of rotation for now.

    Hah! Nice post. It’s almost as if they had your mind in mind :)

  I’ll be damned, this Gen. 2 MMOC really does feel milder than the Gen. 1. It’s almost like folks know what they’re talking about!

  I enjoyed this scent combination quite a bit – warm pear and spices into boozy, woody, figgy DFTR. Just lovely.

  Happy Saturday all!

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Tech
  • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - Soap
  • Post Shave: Brut - Brut - Splash On
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Kelp & Sea Mineral - Lotion

  This blade is an older “Israeli Red”. Edgewell moved their Platinum Chrome operation to Germany 3 or 4 years ago. I used a German one yesterday and enjoyed that shave more, but I also used a different razor so I can’t say for certain if one is better than the other.

  I’m car travelling and packed my Tech inside the plastic case that one of my Baili BR171 razors came in. It’s a really great travel option despite being just a cheap plastic shell.

  This was my third shave with this razor and I used it on order to make a shave video about finding the shaving angle with a straight razor.

  The real star of this shave was King of Oud. I’m a fan of oud, and this scent seems like a sophisticated oud-based fragrance to me. Following it with Creed’s Royal Oud made this a very enjoyable luxury shave.

  I took a break from the Adventus Calendar today. Instead, I had a nice haircut and DFS from the lady barber. Hot towel before the shave and then a cold towel with a hair wash. It’s a wild combination.

  Have a great day!
