Files are too large to post the photo. I used a J.R. Torrey "Our 136". This Torrey model is my favorite. It took me several months to find one at a price and condition I wanted. I honed it on films up to 3 micron and finished on a combination of Coticule and Thuringian. It's one of my best edges ever.
"Don't Tread on Me" - Wacker Bigelow SC Bigelow Cologne Nice one pass shave. I'm kinda fried with the Bigelow/ Proraso scent along with the almond/cherry scented Italian soaps and creams and find it detracting from the shaving experience. I'll be moving on to others. Have a good one.
Robert Klass Kissing Crane 6/8, re-honed on 8k synth and a Cumberlandite Anchor finisher - details in the honing thread. It shaved well, like a good 8k edge, a little more resistance than a good jnat edge or high grit synthetic. Also had about 1/2 second tingle from alcohol based AS, which I usually don’t get with a jnat edge. Cream was AdP lathered with a Rooney 3/2 Heritage, AS was Myrsol Aqua Balsamica and AdP balm finished up. Cheers, Steve

Wester Bros. Anchor Brand “Manganese” Steel Factory bluing is pretty much completely intact on this one Enjoy your shave. Tom
Thanks Mike. This may even be the factory edge... felt pretty good when I got it so just stropped and shaved.
Wacker Chevalier Route 66 homemade boar Gent's Gin Nice one pass shave this morning. This razor feels almost to small for my hands it's very compact. Have a good one.
Thanks This old razor is very well made with awesome steel .Takes an extremely keen edge . Destroys whiskers with almost no effort .Was real lucky finding her .Sodren's do not pop up very often.
