Shave #6 for this Filarmonica. Silky smooth 2 pass shave, resulting in a BBS face. Zero issues. The brush worked and felt great, and the TOBS cream was very slick. Razor- Filarmonica 13 Doble Temple "Muleta" Brush- JR#262. Ebony/Birdseye Maple. Silvertip Badger knot. Soap- TOBS "Sandalwood" Aftershave- Avon Spicy(one of my favorites). Viking Horn decanter.
If it’s summer where you are, Limon without question. It has excellent conditioning and the scent actually lasts a while. Agua Balsamica is good anytime but the scent is apparently perceived differently by different noses. Anything from medicinal tonic water to fresh baked Thanksgiving dinner. Maggards has samples I belive, grab a handfull. Cheers, Steve

Thanks Gary. This is a modern version, but Bismarck Razor Works was a stand alone company until Dovo acquired it in 1957. I agree, it’s a pretty classy shape.

There’s some new hardware going out for a first drive today. First up, a Le Grelot Coupe Celeste that I was hoping would be a removable blade to go with my other removable blade Coupe Celeste. Alas it is a fixed blade. But I’m fond of old French razors and this one doesn’t have much wear on it other than the finish near the edge. likely from a pasted strop. And a new brush too, an Omega 11137 boar. Quite a nice looking brush, the knot is good quality and about the right size. Bonus points that the knot didn’t stink and the tips actually began hooking a little after a few washings with MdC and drying in the summer heat. The soap was Maggard Limes and Bergamot, and a dab of Trumper West Indian Extract of Limes Skin Food knocked down a fine shave.
