    Terrific shave lineup and photo, Gary! Sounds like the Suneko blades may be the same.

    Another excellent face shave with the Witte ‘Copperhead’ 13/16. Although it was supposedly NOS complete with a note stating “Honed by Henrey 1939” Ben oversaw my rehoning the razor on my new jasper stone despite Henrey‘a prior world eight years before I was born. Great face shave. The new Blackland Tradere loaded with a Feather blade cleaned up the neck and again delivered another VBBS. Great safety razor shave on the noggin left me refreshed, clean and smoothly velveteen.

    RAZOR: Witte ‘Copperhead’ 13/16 (Mug), Blackland Tradere (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather DE
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
    BRUSH: SR Synthetic
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Fine Accoutrements Snakebite AS Splash.

    Great shave, Joe, with one of my favorite vintage razors! Glad it went well! Sorry it didn’t quite meet Paul’s TOTWE ( Top of the world excellent) category! ;)
