Three passes and ended up with an adequate shave. I'm going to re-evaluate the edge. He may have to take a "time out" and have a counseling session with Mr. Norton
Pardon me while I wipe the drool from my chin. I've been looking for one of those, but haven't found one. Beauty!

T.I. Le Savon des Volcans homemade boar Just got back from a few days in Denver. I used a Friodur, Spanish Leather and a synthetic for the trip. Here's this morning shave. A very nice one btw.
Thanks. I've only seen 2 or 3 for sale in the last 5 years or so. SRP had one a few months ago for a great price. They are excellent.
Flic. Both of my Flics are superb shavers. German craftsmanship at its finest. Always near bbs in two passes; the third being "just in case" pass.
RAZOR - Gold Dollar 100 BRUSH - Rubberset #153 - known elsewhere as Dad's Old Brush SOAP - Williams Mug Shave Soap MUG - Vintage Old Spice shave mug - known elsewhere as Dad's Old Shave Mug PRE-SHAVE - Rite Aid label (Noxzema clone) face cream as pre-shave. Found this for $.99 at outlet store. AFTER SHAVE - Aqua Velva Ice Blue Another very smooth 2 pass BBS shave, with some minor touch ups. It's now evening, and my face still feels like a baby's bottom. Face prep (no shower today) was face wash with Dial anti-bacterial soap and hot water rinse. I really appreciate how much face cream pre-shave improves the shave, and leaves my face very moist & smooth - no AS Balm needed. This brush is a recent favorite of mine. I took the time to use a toothbrush and some toothpaste on the handle to clean off some of the old soap scum residue. Looks much better now, and continues to perform like a champ. This is the perfect size handle for me. COLD CREAM pre-shave, WILLIAMS MUG soap, AQUA VELVA ICE BLUE aftershave splash. A perfectly refreshing combination! Dad would surely be proud.
beautiful. i have a blade with the same stamp, can't find any info. do you happen to know the time period on that? and what kind of grind would you call it?
William Greaves & Sons Sheaf Works factory opened in 1823; by 1850, majority of their works exported to USA. This razor, a thick hollow-ground blade compared to 20th century-made hollows, dates from approx 1850 to 1889. No tang stamp of 'England' or ' Made in England' which would indicate post-1890 production of the McKinley tariff.
awesome. thanks. couldn't figure out if this was after they sold the name or not. and i wasn't even sure if it was a regrind given that wedges dominated the period.
