6/8 Hart Le savon des Volcans homemade boar, I'm pretty sure it's a Semogue 2000 knot set lower and in a oversized hole.(still having some memory problems since the concussion) A friend of mine gifted me a small sample of this shaving soap quite a while ago but at the time it could only be gotten France. When I found it offered online in the US I couldn't resist. I like this stuff. Have a good one.

Oh My! No wonder these are so sought after! Took an awesome edge so quickly and the shave was the best ever. Love the heft and solid feel of the blade. I think it's a 1/4 hollow but not sure. Will post pic and get the pro's opinion. Before pic:
