    I usually do not post my shaves, but this combo was sooo delightful!

    I really like this razor. Limited edition, Sunday Shaver. I believe the only Dovo offering to share the Bergischer Löwe blank. TSS if you are in the buying mode.

    Stirling for Him, gotta be the Mostest Glorious Stank! Hope it comes back again.

    Say what you want on brushes, a Simpson Super can't be beat.

    Today's shave was with an American made razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that mowed down 3 days of growth, and left me BBS. Excellent razor.

    Razor- "CCC". Cattaraugus Cutlery Co.
    Brush- Wilkinson Sword Boar.
    Soap- Arko Stick
    Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Triple Crown Decanter.

    First go with this razor. I went with my Naniwa profession through 12k. Then finished on my Translucent Arkie

    I got a real smooth shave from this razor.

    I looked up the website and there is not a lot of specific information. He says he folds the layers of steel to make what he calls Damask steel. Only some of them have designs on them and the only detail given is coloration in salt bath. I imagine there is some kind of masking with the design and then the coloration is applied.

    The manufacturer told me: the ponies were made with laminations inside a box and then the spaces are filled with different steel powders.
