    The Herder usually isn’t one of my favorites. But after a light refresh on some red paste it delivered a top notch shave by all measures. :happy036:

    I was just looking back through a lot of these pages, looking at the pictures. Wow, do you have a nice collection! So do a lot of other members.
    Then I remember you replying back to me that you had 92 straight razors. That’s impressive! I got a lot of catching up to do. Haha

    Be careful what you wish for. Once you fall into that hole, it's hard to get out.

    Soap Commander Renewal
    Jayaruh #287
    Dbl Duck 5/8
    CWR
    Thayers Peach WH
    Barbasol

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Soap Commander Renewal Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #287 brush. I did two passes with the Dbl Duck 5/8 Straight Razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    It was time to break out the Geo Wostenholm “Peerless” razor this morning. It was an excellent two pass shave.

    7/8 Dabo made by Koch & Schafer, Solingen Germany .

    This razor just came in from Italy .I was gone to hone her .But when i checked the factory edge it looked great .So I just did 80 laps on linen and 60 laps on my Tony Miller Strop .
    Shave was wonderful.Razor removed whiskers with ease .Edge was smooth as silk .I think they may have used an Escher at the factory to finish this blade .All I have left to do is to just polish out a small stain on the tang .

    5/8 Oxford Razor
    Captain's Choice Bay Rum
    Zenith Brush 26x57mm

    Good brush, mediocre shave. I can't seem to get a truly great edge on this razor. I can get a decent shave but not a great one. Have a good one.
