Another old French near wedge. Maybe RJ or JR, as the letters are intertwined. Address of 54 Rue de Rivoli, Paris. I do enjoy having these in the collection, but the effort to get these anywhere close to a good German hollow is laughable... and I am not saying I did. Enjoy your shave. Tom
Freshly honed A Knyn 12 4/8. Modern measurement says 5/8. A very close shave with haslinger schafmilch + semogue boar brush and finished with lavender edc.
Filly 14 Sub Cero, the first outing since concluding the 153 shave edge test. I refreshed the edge for the first time in 16 months, and it shaved just like I remember - great! Cream was Musgo Real lavender and the AS was SMN lavender.
B.S. Black Diamond Rose soap Reknotted EverReady Ogallala Bay Rum The grocery bag? That's what the scales were made from Recycled and refreshed
Wow, the scales look incredible, as does the razor. The reason I love this thread is that I get to enjoy seeing razors y'all have. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
15/16 CHV No 140 in ivory, soap was La Maison du Savon de Marseilles (The House of soap from Marseilles), apparently a Pre de Provence clone. The appearance, performance, and scent is identical. The first 22 of 28 ingredients are identical except two sets of two ingredients are swapped in order with each other, and it uses argan oil rather than shea butter. A Keyhole 3 did the lathering honors and a splash of Harris Pink finished up a BDBS shave.

Had the opportunity to sort out and sharpen a friend’s Dove Bismarck 2. Now sporting a Shapton 16k edge, and I think he will enjoy it. Enjoy your shave. Tom
8/8 Filly 14 Muleta, soap was MdC agrumes lathered with a Keyhole 3, and Myrsol limon finished things up.

Nothing like a big brush loaded with warm Colonia to start the day off right. Razor is a ‘Superior Temper’ Sheffield, and AdP AS finished things up.
