    Wonderful shave, with an American Made Razor. I had a very smoooooth 2 pass shave, no touch ups, that left me BBS. Zero issues. Excellent made razor. The Shave cream, by AOS, is about the finest I've tried. Exceptionally creamy, and extremely thick lather.

    Razor- Geneva Cutlery Co. Geneva N.Y.
    Brush- JR#262(@Jayaruh ). WD Badger.
    Soap- Kingsman "Bourbon", By The Art Of Shaving.
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Ships Wheel Decanter.

    A Geneva was one of the first vintage razors I bought and remains a favorite. They are truly great blades.

    The “CVH” on the blade face attracted me to this one.

    Back to big, near 8/8 Heljestrand No140 in ivory and half of a black-and-white pair. Post-war razor but unlike many, as impeccably ground as it’s pre-war siblings. Soap was I Coloniali Mango lathered with a M&F Alibaba Finest. A dab of IC balm finished up a BDBS shave.

    7/8 Koraat 3/4 grind

    The last time I honed this edge was below standard so last night it went back on the stones: Shapton Glass progression 4k,8,k, 16k then CrOx, diamond 50k,100k. This time I got it right, not 100% satisfied but today's shave delivered excellent results. I would say 95% satisfied.

    No pic this morning so here is the pic from Urlick of my razor fresh from being born.
