Got to use my big old unbranded razor today. Love the design of it. Did a fantastic job for a face and head shave.
Cheers!

 

Maybe I’ll get back to posting SOTD more often, I’m still testing and having quite a bit of fun doing it. Today was a kinda 5/8 Genevaa Fluid Steel that I bought for $21 as a test razor. The heel is narrower than the toe, but there’s no corresponding spine wear above the heel, so I suspect that sometime in the past it has had a small heel chip removed. Anyway, the edge is straight and even and the steel is good - and it shaves really well. So it’s serving it’s intended use, I’m trying out a new large tomo that came in a lot of nagura, and the tomo is a winner.

Cream was SMN lathered with a SOC boar, and a splash of Agua Balsamica finished up a ‘10‘ shave.

Wonderful escape with the wife for a few weeks… spent the time with the Irving Barber shavette. Good travel tool.

Enjoy your shave.

fine set up Tom.

 

Thank you Gary. First go with this soap… beautiful scent.

 

i have heard good things..,

 

Filarmonica 14 Sub Cero, cream was SMN lathered with a Paladin Chief, and Agua Balsamica finished up.

 

By any chance did @HolyRollah put new scales on that W&B? He did a rescale of one of mine some years ago and the washers and general shape look very similar.

Regardless, it’s a fine looking razor

I think this may be slightly newer than the previous Barber based on tail shape and stamps. The previous razor had some nice grinding done to it over the years.
Enjoy your shave.
