Colorful, pretty pic. Almost holiday-like. But, be it's April and summer is coming.

Thank you Herm. I couldn't help myself with the juniper just outside and the sun shining.

Well all, here is what I found under all that patina after doing the hot water, foil and baking soda thing. Not going to do more than that as it was a first and I do not want to ruin what plating is still there. Anyway, here it is!

-Love My Skin Beau Brummel Cybilla Soap
-Dickinson's Witch Hazel
-Aqua Velva Musk After Shave

My second shave with the Auto-Strop and it seems like I have gotten better on how to use it properly. Kept the head flat against my face, except for beneath the sideburns and goatee for a good trim job, and had a really great shave with it. It rivals the shaves I get with my Gems, well it is the same blade. Two passes with some touch up and it produced a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.

My first go with an OC had to be this:



Had some trepidation but actually quite a mild shave. Took three passes to get a bbs.
