Saturday Straights' Shave Proraso Pre Shave Old Spice Original TOST LE Synthetic Dbl Duck 5/8 CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Aqua Velva Musk I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the TOST LE Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Dbl Duck 5/8 Razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thank you for the nice comments. This razor was one of my more challenging and successful restores. It came to me with the blade in as new condition but missing the tip. Some pictures of the restore. Missing tips can be replaced.
Single pass evening head shave. Wow that's nuts. Not for somebody afraid of the feel of a blade but man is that a close shave. I like this. Fatip Mk1/Nacet. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Don't go out of your way to buy it. The only reason I'll use it is because I bought some to try. It can lather very well, but the lather disappears quickly and if you use too much water it disappears very quickly. I'm still working on finding the right balance between too much water and too little water. It's temperamental.
