    Hi Friends,

    here my Sunday Shave (21.03.2021)

    1616344884468.jpg
    Straight Razor: Silberstahl Solingen // Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary // Brush: custom made Butterscotch // Aftershave: Truefitt & Hill 1805 Cologne // Music: Snowy White - Something on me

    Great shave again. The Straight Razor has been honed by a colleague of mine, with a Coticule and a Thuringian stone. The sharpness is top notch and it feels very gentle.

    The soap has a great scent and the Butterscotch brush made a lather party. The knot is an UOMO Fan with Gel like tips. Very nice.

    As Aftershave i used my 1805 cologne. It burned just a second or two and that was it. Together with the fantastic new Album of Snowy White the shave was very very good.

    This is it for now.

    Have a great Sunday, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    A/s: citrus musk

    Better shave than yesterday. So the soap performed better today, but i also lathered it differently. So it does get creamer, but the slickness is about the same which is low. The brush is basic.. lol i used a cheap knot and it performs ok. The damn thing still smells like badger after all this time. Its like a fresh kill every time i use it.. the blade is still meh and definitely benefits from a slow short stroke versus long regular strokes. Almost like you are using a straight razor in hard to reach areas..

    I have one. They're Matte finish. This razor is highly polished and deserves a handle to match.

    Lol lucky that razor doesnt reside in my house.. it would get same treatment as my family.. what your deserve and what you get are 2 different things. And in my house they get what they get lol. Good luck with the search.

    Repeat shave with the Filly. I noticed some chips and rust forming on the bevel after the last shave and took the edge pretty much all the way back. I’ve only freshened up blades before so I wanted to see how it shaved after my first and only rehone. Excellent shave so I’m pleased. :happy036:
