    Novelty Razor
    Pear Brrr Shoppe
    Polar Shaving brush (synthetic Frank's Shaving knot)

    My wife's Grandfathers razor. Touched it up with a Craftsman Combination Razor Hone that came with the razors. I know this razor hasn't been used for over 50 years and it provided a good close shave with a minor touch up. I suspect this must have been his favorite because it shows more use than the Easy Aces. For some reason there is distortion on the blade in the photo, it's not that messed up.

    Thanks Keith.
    Funny that Silverloaf Kami came up today... that razor, combined with your Ed Brice beauty gave me a little inspiration for my latest pickup.

    This morning was rose morning, Filly 14 with Martin de Candre rose lathered with a Rooney 3/2 Heritage 3-band. Thayers Rose Petal toner finished up a rosy morning shave.

    So, you were the one, who bought that Ed Brice Kami, for cheap, on eBay. I saw and contemplated that one. I do hope you make a nice holder/sheath for it. :happy088::happy088:

    Yeah... started a little higher, dropped quickly and had to pull the trigger. Found it on his site with a Macassar Ebony sheath... might have to try and copy.
    Always hold my breath when getting a Kami in the mail - fingers crossed.

    I'm going to kick myself, if it turns into a great shaver.

    Awesome razors! Welcome.
    I’ve always found the Beau Brummel razors unique. Love the hammered tang!

    First go with both this razor & a Charnley Forest edge. 1 shave does not form an opinion, but good first impression. :)
    15/16 Wade & Butcher For Barbers Use... love the scale repair - definitely keeping that.

    Beautiful Straight Razor you got there. Hope you and your family had a blessed day on Palm Sunday. Seems like time goes by so fast these days. Didn't realize the Easter Sunday was next week.
