Atlas 6/8 near wedge I pick this JWest up cheap and failed on the first honing. Second time was a charm now it is a silent whisker ninja.
A couple of years ago, they could hardly give them away. I have a few, and they are usually pretty good shavers.

Sunday morning shave, C. V. Heljestrand MK33, soap was the always slick I Coloniali Mango Oil lathered with a Simpsons 57. I Coloniali balm finished up a lovely weekend shave.
Yup, Sunday deliveries! Wet shaving has certainly expanded my horizons for scents, however it will be difficult nudge Brut out of the top position in the MaxHeadroom list of Most Glorious Stanks. If only it lasted better. Be well!

The SR here is a circa 1920 German made Salamander with the ivoroid grained scales, my favorite. The edge was a progression on 3M films to 3 micron and then a coticule finish. It's Micromatic Monday on another forum so, the 1958 GEM Push Button was used as well.
