    Great Easter shave, but just the usual suspects.... Filly 14 8/8, MdC rose lathered with a Sommerset-era Keyhole 4 and finished off with D. R. Harris Pink AS.

    @oscar11 is that a Luminox/MB Microtech watch? If so, I have one just like it.

    Such a fun razor to use... well balanced and even with the long tang, just a slight adjustment for my south to north pass.

    Borrowed image from the net. Better and more interesting photo than my phone. Easter shave. A modern full hollow is no where as thin a vintage full hollow. I haven’t shaved with this in a long time. It always has felt beefy/ thick. Today was the best edge and best shave i’ve Had with it. Trying to get used to / learn these thicker razors. Tabac soap today

    We much prefer pics of your razors. The pics I take of mine, are usually sub-par, and ratty looking, but they are my razors. Be proud of what you have.

    Excellent shave this morning. This is a fine shaving razor, imo and a favorite of mine. La Fougere Parfaite is a good Brut experience but too much for me on a daily basis. I really enjoy it occasionally though. Have a good one.
