Thanks. It is a Feather AS-D2 that was sent to Delta Echo Razor Works and they applied Dark Copper and Black Chrome which is the Steampunk finish. My first Steampunk was very first Fat Handle Tech he offered in the same Steampunk finish back in Jun 2015.

Blade - (3)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Jayaruh #46
Post - Alum

Third and final shave for the Merkur blade in the Fatboy. Opened wide to 9 and away we go. The purpose of these last three shaves was just a kind of scientific test of whether or not the Merkur was as bad as I remembered. And the answer is......it's not my favorite still but definitely not as useless as I first thought last year when I used it the first time. Tonight's shave was a bit rougher than the last but the razor could be part of it and the irritation was a bit higher on the alum. I don't think it's all due to the razor setting but I'll have to put a little on the blade. It was definitely just a touch draggy. Seems like three shaves may be the limit on this blade.

As for the finish it's another DFS. Nice but not as nice as some. Clearly this blade lacks some sharpness and a bit of durability it would seem. But.....it's better than last year which means my technique is apparently that much better. Even the ones I wrote off are more usable at this point. Now, would it make a Tiger or Flying Eagle workable? I have serious doubts but I may get around to revisiting that as well.

Blues are leading the Wild 3-0 in the series but are trailing in the second period at the moment....so......they need a little help!!

They did an outstanding job. Even your razor stand is matched up. I have mostly spent on vintage restoration, but as far as modern razors go, that Feather AS-D2 is expensive and built to last a ridiculous amount of time. You really personalized it with that color enhancement job. It's a sick razor man.

I've seen you reference this on prior occasions. Being a fan of Arko & vintage Avon AS I'm curious. Have you scented a whole stick of soap, or is it done as you make lather?

Easy does it today. I turned the Futur down to 4 and made one gentle pass on my neck, and the usual three passes on my face. The result is a solid shave with a great scent. Cologne Russe is one of my favorites, and I could easily use it as my signature scent, but there are so many other excellent options! I used Tabac balsam on my neck and it feels great. The two scents work well together.
Prep: CL butter
Soap: B-M Cologne Russe
Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
Razor: Futur (4)
Blade: voskhod
AS: B-M Cologne Russe, Tabac Balsam
