  4. The latest Herder makes its debut...
    Herder 49 scales in blond horn with stacked brass washers. Synthetic 16k Shapton edge... very enjoyable.

    Went Black Ship Grooming yesterday, so turned the clock back a bit and went with the previous incarnation - Beaver Woodright’s Thomas Tew, a nice citrus.

  10. Tonight I got to shave with a razor I have owned for over a year, but have never shaved with. I had to get it honed and didn't want to mess it up because of my lack of skills. I don't know how rare a razor it is, all I know is I've only seen two in all my looking. One in a video by DrMatt357 on YouTube and the one I own that was honed by DrMatt357.

    Razor: Rigoletto
    Soap: Calani Earl Gray
    Brush: Custom silver tip Badger by Clint
    After Shave: Old Spice
    Pre Shave: The Cube
    Post Shave: Witch hazel from Wal-Mart
    Acc: Sophe's Shave cloth

    Two pass shave to a very smooth face feel, not quite BBS but close enough!

    Nice deep early stamping on the tang. Went the route of just stabilizing the scales with clear epoxy in the big gouges. I love the character of the blade, and it has a very nice edge.

  12. Wilkinson shaving cream + Wilkinson AS

    Rameau Sens faux frameback.

    I honed it on a coticule. It missed the feeling that it really has a keen edge. But it removed the stubble.

  13. Coral, one of a pair, soap was ABC hard soap lathered with a Simpsons 59, and a little ABC almond cream finished up the shave.

  17. Somewhere in Latvia mail services there is a package containing an extremely similar razor with my name and address on it. Seeing this made me salivate.

    This will be my 1st Riga. Seen plenty of positive remarks and can’t wait to see for myself!

    Hopefully I’ll have pics posted of her within a week or 2...
  18. Add an 1/8” to yesterday’s Wade and you get today’s razor...
