One of my favorite models of the Wostenholm family… Does this win for having the most writing on a razor??? Throw in the old hard puck Fine Fresh Vetiver and it becomes an extremely enjoyable evening shave. Enjoy your shave. Tom

Thanks! …and I tried out “flatblading” with it in a few stubborn spots. Worked really well but I had never heard of that technique until reading it in a recent post of yours.
Wednesday morning shave, CVH MK No.31, my second one, not that edge that I have expected. Back to the stones. Finished up with Merkur Futur with Rapira Swedish Super Steel. Splash Floris Turnbull and Asser. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Filarmonica 14 Rejoneo, soap was Martin de Candre 4-oil Marseilles soap that I was trying out. It’s so slick that it will slide off that soap saver if it isn’t perfectly level on my sink. The soap worked really well with a SR but I doubt that it would appeal to DE shavers, but who knows. It will lather, but as expected from a Marseilles soap, the lather is not stable, so it’s basically a brushless product. Post shave is better than expected, this 4-oil soap is very ‘nourishing’ for a bar soap A little Myrsol Blue finished up a great shave. If you were a minimalist and so inclined, this soap would work in a travel kit as both a bath and shave soap.
