My first shave ever with a Wade and Butcher, cant complain about lol, all in all a very nice shave 6/8 in size with horn scales,
This big Napoleon is one of my favorites razors. Today I couldn’t wait for the shave to end. Nice result but getting there was tough. Definitely in need of a refresh.

13/16 R. SUTCLIFFE WITH MASONIC SYMBOLS This blade has a fair amount of use.But she Shaves great.Not bad for a razor that is almost 200 years old.
I like it a lot. It performed similarly to my favorite Route 66. A quick slick lather and excellent post shave feel. It’s a keeper
Tonight's shave was with a razor, donated by @Morman Bridge , and @mrchick for the blade. I had a weird feeling 2 pass shave, that wasn't tugging, or uncomfortable, just different. This left me with a DFS, and zero issues. Very unique looking and feeling razor. Lots of work to get one shave ready. Razor- "Universal". Replaceable blade. Brush- Omega 10066 Soap- Arko/Avon Spicey Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. "The Admiral".
Today’s choice just leapt out at me when it was time to shave. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It just cut through those whiskers smooth as could be. Hot water preparation AOS Lavender PSO Mike’s Natural Soaps Hungarian Lavender Savile Row 3824 Lund 6/8 T&H Classic After Shave Balm Happy shaving - Karl
Tonight's shave was with one from my favorite Maker, and Model. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave that left me with a near BBS, no touch-ups. Zero issues. Very well made Wedge Razor. Razor- Union Cutlery, "Golden Spike". Wedge ground blade. Brush- Stirling Boar Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy. I'm trying to use it all up, so I can make a large batch of something else. Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice, "Early American Old Spice"

Tonight's shave was a first with a recently acquired and honed razor Took a few tries on the stones to get it right. A little heavier feel than most of the other razors I have. In the end it worked beautifully on just a two pass shave. Wade and Butcher bow 6/8 Cold river Jeffs soap. Jayaruh 175 boar brush Nivea post shave balm
