Another great shave complements of MR’s Wade & Butcher.

 

You are off to a fast start.

 

My vacation shaves were brought to me by my Feather DX loaded with a Feather Pro blade.

 

Henckels Friodur 72 1/2

 

Eiko 'Glory' 13/16" Jwest with a western grind...

 

6/8 Friodur
RR Emperor
Cashmere knot

I was reading a biography on Napoleon and when I seen the label on this soap I couldn't pass it up, good stuff IMO. This is the brush I dropped in the belt sander so I ordered another knot and hope to make another handle this week end. Nice shave today. Have a good one.

 

F.W. Engels Perfection 9/8

 

A relatively recent addition to the stable: KC Seelbach “Buddy” 5/8. It seems to be a fairly obscure name. At least I don’t know much (anything) about this brand. This is a handsome razor that shaves very nice. Tonight’s shave left me dolphin smooth after three passes.

 

Your 5/8 Buddy looks German too me.

 

Honed and shaves like one too. Tang reads : New York-Solingen Germany.

 

Gorgeous!

 

It was time to use my Kiebitz and I was not disappointed. A recent touch up on my Naniwa stones really brought this fellow back to one of my favorites in my den.

 

Veterans Day Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Musgo Real
Jayaruh #220
Russian Rocket Raketa Straight
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva

I started off with a prayer of thanksgiving for all those who have served in our armed forces. All gave some, some gave all. May God bless them all.

Next, I applied some Proraso Pre Shave. The Musgo Real Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #220 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Russian Rocket Raketa Straight and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Easy-peasy shave using this round-point LEADER from Freddy Engels (1930s)...

Thank you sir!

 

5/8 Case Red Imp
MWF
Cashmere knot

Decent shave but should have been better. I'll touch it up before the next one. Have a good one.
