Rifuto, soap was Williams South African rose stick, the last good Williams available (until about 4 years ago). A Duke 3 copy in 2-band by @life2short1971 did the lathering and a splash of Myrsol Plastic Shave finished up a rosy shave.

EDW Jansen and Sons St Louis MO
Brush: Semgoue Boar
Soap: Mitchell’s Will Fat
A/S: Alum followed by Witch Hazel

once again, fine tuned the edge of this blade. Works very well. A little on the sharp side but should smooth out. Also finished with a little beard care. Great shave!

Shell Silver Steel, cream and balm were Penhaligon Blenheim Bouquet lathered with a Zenith boar.

 

My near wedge technique must be improving - likely the best shave ever with this particular razor. Twice that’s happened now in recent weeks with a near wedge

I like that Boker Tom!

Le Grelot 14, soap was MdC rose lathered with a Razorock boar and a splash of Myrsol Plastic Shave finished up a perfect Sunday shave.

 

Thank you Steve. I feel the same about that Le Grelot… classy.

 

Another heavier grind but this one’s closer to a quarter hollow - very nice, lovely shave

I know what you mean Tom, plain blade, no etching, no gold, no scalloped spine etc and plain scales - an unpretentious gentleman’s razor. They made a very few of these in factory ivory, the last one I saw a few years ago went for around a kilobuck.

 

Monday morning shave, ERN 1166 7/8”. Really nice shave. Smooth as a peach.
