    Thank you, Chris.:)


    Great looking Feather, I have owned most Japanese razors, but strangely enough I have never owned a Feather.

    Yep, Feather made straights. Maybe still do, IDK.

    A little ying and yang today. Black horn scaled 13/16+ CVH No 140, half of a black-and white pair, the other is in ivory. Cream was SMN lathered with a Simpsons 57, AS was Harris pink. Very good shaving razor!

    Newly honed razor. Only one pass today, that gave me a DFS. Gave myself a little bit of a cut, not too deep, on the cheek. It quickly reminded me to slow down. This one was finished with Welsh Slates with some Japanese Naguras, for slurry. Dang sharp. Then, I finished on the Arkansas Surgical Black stone, which made it scary sharp, and left zero room for error, which I soon found learned.

    Razor- F.W.Engels Special
    Brush- Wilkinson Sword Boar
    Soap- Arko Stick. Wonderfully slick lather
    Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Sandalwood
    Bunny B-400 by Tom
    Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8
    CWR
    Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Cream face lathered well with the Bunny B-400 by Tom. I did two passes with the Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8 razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
