    Your accumulating some very nice blades Kevin.

    6/8 Wacker Stainless
    Fine Platinum
    homemade brush, Shavemac knot

    Great shave this morning. It's my first use of Fine shaving soap and my initial use is positive. Very good lather and post shave feel is very nice. I also picked up a puck of their Santal scent. I guess this soap is being compared to Tabac but it's been awhile since I've used the soap(Tabac) but I prefer Tabac cream to the soap anyway so I'll let let others comment on the comparison. Have a good one.

    I've been having some extra time on Friday mornings lately and that's given me time to break out the SRs.

    Three Pass Shaving Routine..:cool:

    Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
    French Monneret Special 6/8th
    Kent BK2 Pure Badger
    DR Harris Arlington Tallow Soap
    Humphreys Witch Hazel

    I had a Corker of a Shave this Morning with My Recently Acquired French Monneret 6/8th..What a Darn Super Close Shave..I have to Say if I had One SR to Keep this Would Be It..This SR is Just Such a Darn Smooth Shaver..When I Honed this Razor I was Well Aware that the Steel was Different to Solingen, Sheffield Or Swedish Steel..Solingen, Sheffield & Swedish Steel SRs are held in High Regard & Quite Rightly So..:D

    I Have to Say Though this French SR which I Can Only Assume is Made of Neither of these Said Steel is Just Awesome..Vintage French SRs Just Don't Seem to Get Mentioned as Much in UK & USA Forums..This is One Almighty Shaver..If this French SR is a Representative Example of the Quality of Vintage French SRs then I Wish I had Discovered them Earlier..:)

    Then Again it Just Mighta Just Been My Magic Honing Skills..:happy102:
