    Hopefully some rare razors for pennies on the dollar await you. Along with indoor heating! Still, if you can survive the cold winters, the Fly Fishing, Hiking and Whitewater Rafting sure make summers out there a great place to be! Cheers.

    Fine shave from a relative unknown, 1/4 Hollow Grind. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me near BBS. Fine handling razor, that keeps a nice edge.

    Razor- John Brown. 1/4 Hollow
    Brush- Stirling Boar
    Soap- Arko Stick
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice.

    Cold Water Wash
    Arko
    Jayaruh #340
    Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8
    CWR
    Pinaud Special Reserve

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Arko Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 badger brush. I did two passes with the Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8 straight and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Special Reserve AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Had a wonderful shave with this blade.This is a recent acquisition .The blade is basically NOS.I just gave her a quick refresh on my J-Nat .I was shocked at how even and small the factory bevel was .Great workmanship from an era passed..

    International morning shave - French razor and soap, English brush and EdT, Spanish AS. Razor was Le Grelot Lotus 6/8, soap was MdC fougere lathered with a TOBS silvertip and topped with Aqua Balsamica. A spritz of Pen’s English Fern finished things up.

    Cheers, Steve
