Vintage Sheffield-made 6/8" soft French-point 'Celebrated IXL Razor' from George Wostenholm & Son (mid-1800s), Crowne & Crane's 'Cognac & Cubans' soap with matching aftershave balm, Omega #627 'super' badger brush. One of my favorite Wosty's. Love the rare blade shape. I've owned 'a bunch' of Wostenholms but this was the first with this blade style/tip.
7/8 Dorko Had an effortless shave with this beauty.I think this is one of my closest shaved to date.I used Grooming Dept After the Fire Shave Soap.Soap was great.
Started learning on a 1/4 hollow. Moving to a couple hollow razors and man the audible feedback is something else. Not sure what I favor yet but you certainly know when when you have the angle with the bigger hollows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A rare shave today. I normally only shave every other day and sometimes every third day. Tonight was a special dinner with my wife for her birthday so the whiskers came off after just a day. I picked up my 1970s Russian for the job. Easy peasey. Two passes and done. Oh, and a special shout out for that Savile Row brush. I have some very, very nice brushes but this one has really been standing out and today was no exception.

Had to go quick. The Yamada with the half hollow was the right choice. This one has a heavy blade and scalpel sharp edge. No finessing or short strokes needed. This thing is a bull dozer. And leaves a bbs finish every time. I love my Japanese steel
Today's shave was with a freshly honed Wilkinson Sword, A. Dunhill Edition(Pall Mall). Fantastically smooth razor, that requires little effort to shave. It's just a bear to prep up for the shave. I had a 3 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero Issues. Excellent razor, that is built like a tank, yet very nimble, and smooth. This razor will be saved for special occasions. Razor- Wilkinson Sword, Alfred Dunhill of London. Fifth Ave New York. 7 day set. Brush- Stirling Boar Soap- Vintage "Yardley" of London, Lavender. Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice.
This is one of two birth year Russian razors I have. This one is from the ZTV factory. Fantastic shave. Da comrades, is true.
