Thanks, Billy. This particular FWE is one of those early 20th century fancy razors that I tend to treat with extra care. Same quality Solingen steel found in pretty much all the FWE shavers (I've had a few less showy models). They all seem to take a good edge with ease.
5/8 Le Minet AOS Oud Shavemac silver tip finest Good shave this morning. This razor reminds me alot of vintage Grelots which is a good thing. I picked up the AOS Oud from some vitamin place online for around 24-25 dollars shipped so I figured I'd give it a try. Personally I like the scent (don't ask me to describe it because I suck at it, all I can say it smells kind of spicy to me) but could see it being a bit polarizing. Performance is what you'd expect from AOS creams. I could also see some people with sensitive faces having a potential problem with this cream. Anyway, excellent shave today. Have a good one
Even sharper than it looks Robert Williams Purist. Today the vampire did not draw any blood just an epic shave.
Tonight's shave was with a French Faux Frame-Back(Rattler). I had a fantastic 2 pass shave, that went very smooth. I had a DFS with the first pass, and after the second, a BBS shave. I do like these vintage razors. Never a dull shave. Razor- French, "Leon Pelleray". Faux Frame Back Brush- Omega 10066 Soap- The Village Soap Smith. Woodsy, unknown scent. Soy Wax base. Aftershave- Florida Water
Moonrise over the Au Sable Dunes on Lake Superior I spent four days in the woods in the Upper Peninsula along Lake Superior. With a day’s head start and a day delay I had a nice 6 day beard going. I have my Torrey with me and planned to shave with that. Nope. For some reason, me and Torrey’s just do not get along well. With less than half a pass done I switched to the Nordic Beauty. A fantastic, stellar shave. The whisker’s fell like magic for a super close, super smooth shave.
