Perfectly smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Great shaving razor. But its only downfall are the Scales, which are very slightly gassing out. So, I store this one away from other razors, and open, for now. Razor- Otto Deutsch's Hans. Brush- JR#262, Ebony/Birdseye Maple. WD Silvertip. Soap- TOBS Eton College. Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman.

Lol damn. I guess crossing your fingers worked. So much for me hoping for a crappy shave. It’s a cool looking head!
Razor -Aristocrat V3 Blade - the spoiler Brush - Tom b1 with a silver tip Soap - marlborough Post - peach witch hazel A/S - vintage lime sec A good shave. This brush is feels soooo big and I know it’s knot ( LOL ). Anywho, the brush takes a lot of soap and I find myself having to paint vs swirl as swirling seems as if there is no soap.
Some Celluloid scales, that are Old, degrade, and emit a corrosive gas, that causes rust, on the razor. This razor had the telltale "Cell Rot", when I bought it, but I paid next to nothing for it, so, I restored the scales, and blade to the best extent I could. But, it doesnt matter what the look, the gas is still being emitted. Sad thing is, this model razor, has the most beautiful scales made, but were the most prone to it. There are a few more model of razors that are very prone to this.
