Did you get the red Tip re-chromed?

 

Stunning Amigo!

 

It's been re-plated in rhodium.
I'm a sucker for shiny toys.

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #313
Eversharp G
Personna
CWR
Cella After Shave

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Eversharp G razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Cella After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

SOTD and Review, 22 November 2019

First shave with my newly delivered Fine Marvel Razor and a new Voskhod blade today, and I will definitely affirm all reports of this razor's efficiency. No doubt it's on the milder side, though I wouldn't claim the title "mild" but rather I think "medium" might be better. The blade gap is large at 0.95 mm (which apart from the interesting design is the main reason I wanted to try this out) but you'd never know the gap was that large given how easy it is to shave with. Absolutely no issues finding the right angle (as you might expect looking at the razor head given its characteristics). On a crisp, crystal clear 22F morning, Murphy and McNeil's Bád Mór - their bay rum - was calling my name, so that's the soap I went with today. Very very nice shave.

Preshave: hot shower & hot towel
Razor: Fine Accoutrements Marvel
Blade: Voskhod (#1)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lather Bowl
Soap: Murphy & McNeil Bád Mór
Aftershave: Murphy & McNeil Bád Mór

 

Thank you!
Was rhodium a standard finish or a choice of yours?
I like shiny toys too
