Shower or Shave (SoS) July 2 - 8

Bock SilverTip
Floris JF SC
Futur Gillette Super Silver
Floris JF AS
Georgian AS Creme

Hattric Pure Sport EdT

The Floris SC is quite amazing. Nice scent, slick lather, very protective.
The Gillettes are once more a surprise. The first Gillette Super Silver I had, they came in a white box and were not wrapped blades, were very nice and I enjoyed them very much. The second were in a different white box and also not wrapped. They were just good enough for the dust bin. The one I have now is a single wrapped blade. It is similar to the first very enjoyable. Thx TomH.

Result: 4.8/5

Have a nice week,
Herzi

Jay, love that Pipe Razor (that's a beauty, too!). That's a good one to learn with. Sheffield steel is very forgiving.

Monday

Antelope (Griffon Cutlery Works) 5/8

I got the Antelope at an antique store cheap. The blade was tarnished, but was gorgeous underneath. The scales were beyond eaten up, though, so I replaced them with some ebony wood scales. The blade was dream to hone and took a great edge.
