    Thank you - it is... it's a replate I bought from ebay. Seemed cheaper than buying an original then getting it replated if I liked it. And it looked pretty :cool:

    That is a beauty. I have the short comb version that I had replated. I love it, although, I think I like the LC version better.

    Pre-shave: Worked up a good sweat mowing the lawn, walking the dogs and then a hot shower
    Shave cream: Barbasol Soothing Aloe
    Brush: VDH Badger
    Razor: Merkur 1904 OC
    Blade: Wilkinson Sword (2)
    Post-shave: Dickinson WH, Gillette AS Gel, Gillette Cool Wave AS Splash

    After getting some chores done I rewarded myself with a quick, but pleasant shave. Thanks to those in the Barbasol Brotherhood for introducing me to whipping up the canned cream into a nice, slick lather with a brush. The Soothing Aloe is one I've had for.... I don't know when I bought it, but I know it was before I started my venture into wet-shaving. It had been collecting dust in the back of the cabinet for a long time, then I read the posts in the Barbasol Brotherhood. I certainly have not given up on the soap pucks and shaving creams, but I'm keeping an open mind.

    Anyway, great shave! I achieved a near BBS, and I did both a face shave and a head shave. The Soothing Aloe was protective and actually felt great, and the post shave products enhanced that experience.

    Have a great week, everyone!
