Thank you Gary.

 

Wanted one of these from the first I saw them.
Rasoir Sabre "My Fine Steed".
Missed out on the first batch of these.
Not this time!

Decades old, multiple strike forging.
52100 high carbon steel.
Hand ground on vintage 2 wheel grinder.
Honed and sharpened with pride, and sold with 'Do Not re-hone' I instructions from themanufacturer.
Yup, it is sharp. Now my top.

Been looking for an edge to compete with a half DE shavette. This is real close. The best shaving straight I've ever used.

My shave
Cleaned off the oil, 10 cycles on horsehide and off I went.
Great shave!

 

So not really an OC but a hybrid and a great razor. I have heard discussions on how the Muhle R41 is a great razor but made even more so with the addition of an aftermarket handle etc. Now I love my stock R41 and as I have mentioned before, it was my second ever DE after the EJ DE89lbl which incidentally, I still have and use. I am glad I spent some time getting to know and use it because it really helped my technique. Today I decided to see what the hype was all about and decided to use my newly acquired iKon bulldog handle with it. Well now the hypes is true! The extra weight of the iKon Handle made it an absolute dream.

Soap of the day was Amici by Italian Barber and a great summer citrus scent it is. Lovely soap to say the least. Great performer. Chubby 1 had no issues whipping up a great lather. Proceeded through a wonderful two pass DFS bordering BBS shave! Topped it off with the matching Amici AS splash and English Laundry Tahitian Waters EDP. Take care and happy shaves all!

Parker 87r razor
Astra SP blade
Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush
Williams SS (modern)
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Clubman A/S

For me, Clubman and Williams were made for each other. Really enjoy both of them. The 87r continues to give great shaves, mild feeling but very effective and I like that a lot. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

An excellent shave today and hard to beat. And I'm liking this after shave, nice scent and makes my skin feel really smooth and refreshed. Two passes and a bit of touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
