5/8 PUMA 68 Parker Pure Badger Hair Brush Classic Shave Soap Prorasso pre shave cream Honed this razor all day. Unfortunately, she needs to go back to the stones. Left quite a bit of stubble. Surprisingly there was no pulling just, not cutting well.

Thank you Joe. I had an older one and couldn’t pass this one up. A buddy sent me this set of salt and pepper shakers thinking maybe I could use them for scales... would have to be a Shorty. But I think it did all right with this brush. Had a laugh with it. https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/fun-with-shift-knobs-more.58913/page-3#post-1562893

Last couple of shaves with the Lakeside Cutlery Army & Navy razor vacationing in PA from TX. Smoother than anything I paid to have honed. A great new target for my own work. Pieces like this are what keep straight shaving going. Simpson Super Badger brushes are extravagant in my mind, but I wanted one, so I bought an Emperor 2 a few years ago. Then kept wishing I had gotten the Emperor 3. I decided to fix that. I’m on a ‘No Buy’ for the Emperor 1, hope I can hold out. Delightful shaves. Thank you Scott.
I have not seen any near-wedge JWest razors other than this example, I am sure they exist. This is an Atlas 6/8 near wedge. It took me a couple tries to get her honed properly and now she is a silent whisker killer.
Thank Keith. I like how they work with the antique finish on the tang. Not sure who “configured” this one, but I liked their style.
Langres Brush: Razorock Suds & Balm: Moon Soaps Amaretto The town of Langres looks to be an ancient town in northeastern France, known for armor making and was also a center for cutlery. I appreciate their craftsmanship on this old beauty. Enjoy your shave. Tom
