    The first sip would burn your lips, the second sip was cold!

    I think that is my favorite scale option for the Bismarck 2... very classy.

    Old Bengall for me tonight... very enjoyable.

    I have never had a bad shave from a properly honed Bengal .Thanks for the comment on the Bismarck 2 scales .I was very lucky buying it last year .It was NOS when they used the higher end scales .

    One of my best razors. It was the first film, stones, diamond edge I attempted, at it worked beautifully. That's my standard hone method now. SAS result.

    Here’s a ‘bookend’ for @Briscoe also a black 14 Sub Cero. Soap was a sample of 3P that was given to me, the brush a big ol’ Simpsons 59, and after a little Harris Pink (essentially unscented), a splash of Cella Colonia Classica finished up a perfect BDBS shave.

    The 3P impressed me, I’ve had the sample for some time and unlike Cella, it did not turn brown/rancid at room temperature, and it performed as well or better, plus the post shave is quite good. A very good option for an inexpensive Italian croap I think.
