    Had a low bar on this one - didn’t want to behave on the stones, and the edge is nowhere near even, but...
    Never count out an old French frameback, as the shave was excellent. :)

    It’s fall color season here so I’ve been slow posting while enjoying some day trips to the nearby mountains.

    Saturday and Sunday, the new Sprecher Midi, great shaving razor that feels small like a King Pelican 14 even though the edge is just 2mm shorter than my 7/8 Riga. The 8/8 width makes the blade appear shorter than it it is

    Yesterday, 8/8 Filarmonica DT 14.

    I Just had a Wonderful Shave with My NOS Otto Fromm 50 Redhead Solingen Barbers Notch that Arrived this Morning from Germany..Its a Full 8/8th Not Including the Spine..Its a Huge Heavy Weighted Blade for a Full Hollow..Its a Rare Big Chopper that Came Shave Ready & Finished on a 20k Suehiro Gokumyo Stone..;)

    The Seller Didn't Advertise it as NOS Due to Fact that it had Been Honed..But I Contacted Him & he Confirmed it was Factory Fresh when he Honed it..He has Put a Superb Edge on it..I Like the Smooth Edge..I Didn't Find it that Much Different to a 12 K Super Stone..Beautiful Close Shaver Mind..I Am Still Gobsmacked at the Nick of this Razor..Its Certainly the Pride of My Collection..Wunderbar.. :D

    I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..:kar:

    SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 2020

    To all who have served, thank you for your service on this somewhat auspiciously gloomy Veteran’s Day. The shave this morning went well. The Genco 35 5/8 swept away my 24 hour mug stubble and was followed by an equivalent job on my noggin with the LaResche 77. I'm rapidly reaching the point where I’m shaving almost exclusively with boar brushes. For today’s shave I loaded the 26mm boar ferrule on the Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute. It performed beautifully and just really felt great! I know there are some who make a big deal about the black bristles in boar brushes feeling too sharp or whatever, but that’s never been a problem for me. In fact, I wasn’t even aware of the issue until reading about it. It may be a function of my Parkinsonian neurology, but I enjoy scritchiness in my boars. Today’s shave left me feeling clean, refreshed and velveteen smooth!

    RAZOR: Genco 35 5/8 (Mug), LaResche 77 (Dome)
    BLADE: Astra Platinum DE (2)
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute w/ 26mm Boar
    CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Cooling After-Shave Gel Signature Scent.

    Rodgers ‘Refined Steel’, likely from the ~1830s. Soap was Eufros Rosa-Oud, and Harris Pink finished things up. Wonderful shave!
