    Some time ago I purchased a Genco Gold Seal SR in an antique store and I honed it yesterday. And this morning I put it to the shave test and I was very pleased. A nice keen edge and a smooth shave. Two passes and all is well.:chores016:

    Pre: Proraso green preshave cream
    Razor: Genco Gold Seal
    Brush: Simpsons Special

    Nice shave this morning. Very nice edge on the vintage Grelot, very smooth and close shave. I regret not buying one when T.I. picked up the last of the surviving Grelot blanks. Have a good one.

    I took advantage of the weak GBP and bought a new TI 7/8 shoulderless. Very nice shave today.
