Well, if I were to shave today this would be the set up for St. Patrick's day. I might add the razor is German. The scales and brush handle are American made, the bristle, Italian and the soap English. BTW, the bowl is Chinese.
Ebay can be ruthless but I have also made some really good scores there. A nice Boker is on my bucket list
View attachment 64540 Here is a really nice Engels special that I scored on ebay for $30 and spent 30 minutes polishing it up. It is one of my very best shavers and proved that again this morning Caties bubbles Le Pement de La Vie - the Caties soaps are simply to die for & this one is my favorite scent ( I have 5 scents and they are all awesome) View attachment 64537 View attachment 64538
today I used my A Lohmann#75 it's a half inch, full hollow. made in Hamburg. I used it on the first and third passes. my honingskill is getting a very little bit better. still a bit grabby on the first pass. smooth and singing on the third. first pass ns, third pass sn. I'm slowly getting more comfortable maneuvering the blade over my entire face.(tuff to do with one hand)
