Normally they didn’t put collars on the Ivory scales, I have several CVH with Ivory and they don’t have collars

Scales are authentic

I found the scales separately and had @gssixgun put them on a scale-less blade I found. Hence, the unusual configuration.

Catching up on some past shaves:

Fine shave with my first purchased straight:


…and my favorite razor from an aesthetic persepective gave me a wonderful near wedge shave


Followed by today’s stellar shave with my biggest blade. Normally I save this razor for an overdue shave with too many days of stubble. Today was an exception with just two days of growth. Super smooth



Happy shaving all and an early Happy Thanksgiving - Karl
