    Just started shaving with a straight razor last December. This is my collection so far and I shave with all of them.

    Tonight's shave was with an old Philadelphia made razor. I had a super smooth 2 pass shave, no touch-ups, that left me BBS. Zero issues. This is one sweeet shaving razor. I like the way these old Cast steel razors feel on the face.

    Razor- A.B.Shipley & Son, Philadelphia. Half Hollow Ground, Cast steel.
    Brush- Stirling Boar
    Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
    Aftershave- Avon Deep Woods.

    I guess I'm going to have to dig that one out, and give it another go. The last shave I had with mine was less that satisfactory, probably because I was rushed, and didn't properly prep.

    Brush- B400 By Tom( @twhite ) Boar hair knot, by Whipped Dog.
    Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
