Razor: John Weiss in horn Brush: Polar Metalworks (bronze) w/24mm TGN Silvertip Soap: L&L Grooming Cuir Et Epices A\S: Fine L’Orange Noir 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. Tom

Got the 3rd of the trio of Weiss razors up and running Friday... Weiss & Son in ivory Today’s shave went modified, with my interpretation of W&B’s Ottoman Egyptian and Royal Windsor Razor. Much more raspy vocals without the stabilizers... fun razor. Enjoy your shave. Tom

Sorry no picture a fr herder 25 with tabac shaving soap. It is was a very close good shave. @jgreenepa nice puma 10. A really nice 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.
