Thank you- I fell for this one as it combined the Heljestrand brand with a slightly different twist on the “14” style/size. Couldn’t resist.
Two Pass Shaving Routine... Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil Japanese Hamilton Swedish Steel Full Hollow 6/8th French Fitchard Pure Badger Valobra Tallow Soap Humphreys Witch Hazel I Had a Super Duper Close Shave with My Swedish Steel Japanese Hamilton 6/8th Today..Man..What a Crazy Sharp & Ridiculously Smooth Razor..I Dont Like Jap Steel but I Like this Japanese Swedish Steel Razor..Must be Quite a Rare Job as Ya Dont Really See Em Around.. I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed.. Billy..
6/8 Flic MdC homemade brush-Chubby 2 Syn. knot Bigelow My hands are pretty beat up, being clumsy on the lathe has taken it toll. I have one more razor (new to me) that I'll bring out soon but it hurts to hone so I'll wait awhile.... I used an ol' reliable, already sharp razor for this mornings shave. Very nice shave using some of my remaining MdC. I was never a fan of MdC and my soap has to be years old but I might have been wrong about it. Very fine shave. Have a good one.
Shell 92 13/16 Silver Steel, a very fine razor. Soap was MdC fougere, brush was a PJ1 and Myrsol AB topped it off. I used 0.4g of MdC yesterday, and the average is around 0.5-0.55g/shave. This means that if you load the 20mm PJ1 for 2 passes without a lot of excess, you could get 13 months out of a 200g jar of MdC using it every day. Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone! Cheers, Steve
Mike, if I haven’t said this every time you bring that cat of the bag, I should... just wonderful!!!!!
I’m envious Steve on just how well that blade face has stayed intact. Mine’s not horrible, but not at that level. Beautiful blade.
Steve Hope you had a great party the other day. I know where you're coming from with your hands being beat up. that's a beautiful Flic that you have there Great looking brush too. Happy St.Paddy's Day!

Hey @Karl G I love those swayback English hollows. I’m going to have to dig a couple,of my own out. I have a Wosty that’s really nice, bug-bitten scales and all. Cheers, Steve
Just enough of a smile to make a nice difference and I love the little flair on the spine towards the toe. Oh, and extra points for the thumb notch as well.
Early 8/8 Filarmonica Doble Temple 14... Vertical “14,” no Made in Spain on the reverse tang, but has the lyre on the blade face (no JMP initials). Last minute decision as it just came off the hones - glad I did. Enjoy your shave. Tom
@Karl G I have to agree with what @Steve56 said and that is a great looking set up you have there. Semper Fi
