    This is a 11/16 Marcella made for Theo Koch's barber supply. Koch's was famous for their barber chairs.

    Anyway, I did 60 laps on the Thuringian last night in preparation for the shave this AM. This was followed by horse hide and linen.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #224 Synthetic
    Rocket 5/8
    CWR
    PSC Caffeinated AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Rocket 5/8 straight razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Hollow ground 6/8 Case Red Imp 133, cream was SMN bowl lathered with a Simpsons 57 in an Aesop bowl. A splash of Myrsol AB finished off another great shave from American steel.

    Thank you. Iffy on what exactly to do near the design. Worked around it the best I could. I love these Medallon Taurino blades.

    From the New York exporter, a German made 5/8 SR. I did 50 plus laps on a Timber Tools Thuringian followed by linen and horse hide.
