This John & Wm Ragg has been waiting patiently for some time. For some reason the top of the tang reminds me of an alligator’s back. Fortunately the shave is nothing like that. Much like the Suzumasa, no pass was remarkable but the end result was unmistakenly close and smooth.

The name of that soap sounds great! And I've long admired the sound of your post shave tonic. I'll probably have to try it out myself at one time!
Yes, I get the alligator idea lol. The scales have that classist color but are simple and basic. I think the tang and lettering on the blade make that a very classy razor. It's what I would want if I ever wandered into straight shaving.
Just decided on a slight change for tomorrow(15th): prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Fresh Ice)-in shower shave-Central Texas Soaps(Grandpa's Barbershop) brush-Stoylin Synthetic(no-name) razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE A.S.-Osage Rub This will just be a "Johnny One-note". Let's see how this barbershop soap matches up to a cooler barbershop shave.
