Absolutely nothing fancy here except the way this Swede shaves, excellent. Very nice shave this morning. Have a good one.

 

Same razor as yesterday's (see#463 above), but used a different soap (XXX vs MdC) & brush = still a great shave! Not bad for a $14 razor!

It just goes to show you "the best things in life are free" or almost in this case. I never ceases to amaze me how good some of these old razors shave.

Newly Acquired 4/8" Severin French Point Straight

A cleaning and light hand polishing. 40 Laps with Green Compound, 40 passes on the strop, and this baby was shave ready and as she sits. A very well taken care of razor.​

Well, I actually thought the scales (color is called jelly roll) where a good idea at the time, not so much anymore. Don't know much about the razor but it's made in Sheffield and is a very good shaver.

 

See now my initial impression on the scales is I like them. In fact I do like them and was going to comment on them ironically enough. Its actually a bit unusual for me as I am usually a bit conservative when it comes to scales and what I like. Beautiful brush also BTW.

 

Thank you.
