    DaltonGang Ol' Itchy Whiskers

    Newly Acquired, Restored, and Honed. It has been two weeks since I shaved last, and this little 11/16th inch razor took the whiskers off like they weren't even there. Just plain smooth. This is a great shaving razor.

    Razor- "The Blacky". Union B.S. Co. Baltimore Md.
    Brush- @oscar11 Creation. Synthetic Knot
    Soap- ARKO
    Aftershave- Avon Spicy. Willys Jeep Decanter.

    I put this Suzumasa on a Yellow Lake finisher for some touch up. It’s one of those razors that comes close but never quite reaches the shave I really want. It may be there now. It took down three days of stubble easier than most with minimal clean up. Super smooth result in no time :happy093:

    Hot water preparation
    Argan Oil PSO
    Savile Row 3824
    Sterling Sharp Dressed Man sample
    Suzumasa AA 13/16 FBU

    It’s time for a frameback, so today is an Engstrom in ivory with an unusual end cap. Cream and AS was I Coloniali Rhubarb.

    Wade and Butcher semi-stub out for it’s maiden shave. Software was Floris 89 and a Keyhole 3 two-band by @life2short1971 did the lathering. Superb shave, the chocolate kiita stands proud today.

    Filarmonica Sub Cero 14 for the Sunday morning shave, freshly toiched up on the chocolate kiita. Soap was ABC lathered with a Rooney Super Badger Beehive, and a splash of Floris Elite AS topped off a great Sunday shave.

    Sunday shave, TH Bergholtz, Sunne Sweden. Better than pre honing. However I need to straight up the spine more to get a better angle.
    Splash Floris 1976.
