Old Wosty Washington Works frameback, when I got it, it was fugly and chipped, now it’s just homely and in need of a little more TLC. But boy does it shave! Cream was SMN lathered with a Keyhole 3, AS was Myrsol AB. And I am BDBS.

Ran-tan-Ka-rus Suds: Noble Otter Nectar Amissa Splash: Razorock Amici Swedish blade, seen with Engstrom as a maker on other blades. Also seen Red Devil on either the tang or scales... so this is my take on that theme. Enjoy your shave. Tom
E. A. Berg frameback, soap was MdC rose lathered with a Keyhole 4, and a splash of Harris Pink finished up a perfect shave. This razor is a likely candidate for a swap to ivory scales; no discernable hone wear and the blade graphics are as new.

Wacker "Don't Tread on Me" Mike's Vetiver Homemade brush Been looking for a good vetiver soap for awhile. So far scent wise I'd have to give it to MdC love the scent but not real wild about the soap. I like my vetiver pretty straight but Salters Vetiver is too much for me.

According to Arne at B&B, this is a pre-production model of the CVH M. K. 133 in ivory, no model name or number is stamped in it. This is a full hollow 7/8 singing blade. Soap and AS was TSD Blood on Steel 2019. Shave was exactly what you’d expect of a full hollow CVH, BDBS!

Thank you Jeff. That blade has a little of your SK3 feel to it. Beautiful lines on that Manhattan Cutlery, and those scales look in great shape.
I've had that experience, where for whatever reason I can't get the shave smooth no matter how much I hone. What solved it for me, and really worked miracles, was going to my balsa strop and doing a couple hundred laps in the green paste and the red paste. The pastes are 0.3 micron chromium oxide (green) and 0.1 micron iron oxide (red). I did soemthing like 100 laps each, although I may have lost count at some point. Anyhow, much more than my regular amount of laps. That totally brought my monkey-tailed Wosty back to life. I figured I was going to have to send it out. YMMV but pasted stropping wears your razor out much less than honing, and it did work for me. Sent from my LGUS992 using Tapatalk
