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.
