    I had a Late Evening Shave with My Recently Required Otto Busch World Master Solingen 6/8th..The Blade is Made from Kayser Ellison & Co Sheffield Silver Steel..I Always Wanted One of these & it Came Up at a Good Price So I Jumped on it..It Doesn't Quite Feel Like Any Sheffield Blade I Have Shaved with..Just Feels Different Somehow..Cant Explain it..But its a Real Nice Shaver..Wunderbar..:)

    I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..:angelic007:

    The Weiss story is an interesting one... Austrian that came to England in the late 1700’s. Made his name patenting and creating medical supplies. Company bearing his name is still in existence today.

    Throw is some stories about the London Bridge and coffins that ensure you are dead, and you get some flavor. :)

    Enjoy your shave.

    Today’s shave went modified, with my interpretation of W&B’s Ottoman Egyptian and Royal Windsor Razor.

    It's been almost 4 months, since I was able to do a Full Face Shave. About 2 inches of wiry hair removed. It would have been about 4 inches if I hadn't been trimming. I've either had a very full beard, or a bushy mustache and Goatee. So, I took my time, and was surprised to find there were zero issues, or lost techniques. I had a very very smooth 2 pass shave, that resulted in a BBS shave. The wife says I look like I am in my 30's again. From a Baby Boomer to a Millennial, with just one shave.

    Razor- F.W.Engel Special. Solingen Germany.
    Brush- @Jayaruh Special, Ebony/Birdseye Maple wood, and Badger Knot. U.S. Made
    Soap- AOS Kingsman, Bourbon. U.S.A.
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Vintage, U.S.A. Mmmm Mmmmmm Good.

    6/8 King Pelican 27, soap was MdC rose lathered with a Tulip 2 and D.R Harris Pink finished up a sublime shave. It’s 8 hours later and I’m still BBS.
