    A nice shave today, from an American Made razor, and well trusted company. I had a very smooth, 1 pass shave, no need for a second pass. It ended with a DFS. This is a very well made blade, and some fine steel.

    Razor- Lakeside Cutlery Co. "Army and Navy"
    Brush- @oscar11 Special
    Soap/Cream- Speick
    Aftershave- Arctic Blue(Texas version of Aqua Velva)
