    After several weeks away from home and enjoying a C3 early Schick and a Personna Floating head with a twin blade I picked up a straight for today’s shave. This is always one of my favorites (I think I’ve concluded it’s not possible to have a favorite that endures.) The Thayers at the end felt especially nice and topped off a wonderful shave :happy036:

    Hot water preparation
    Argan Oil PSO
    Romera Wengue Chubby Manchurian Silver Tip Badger
    Castle Forbes Lavender After Shave Cream
    John & Wm Ragg Napoleon 11/16
    Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel

    The subtle increase in width from heel to point always catches my eye. I’ve been playing with the Trans Ark on a few of these American blades lately... enjoying that stone a little more.

    MK 33, soap was MdC fougere lathered with a Keyhole 4, and a few drops of Floris 89 mixed with several drops of water in the palm made a perfect AS compliment.

    The stamp says Cornet Challans. Challans is a town in the French departement Vendée. The region is nice to go to in the summer with the beaches and the sea.

    I think the razor is a rebranded P Hospital/Le grelot 'Le petit coiffeur'. The shape and tubeset number is the same.

    Finishing stone was a piece of thuringer.

    Palmolive sensitive shaving cream
    Zenith boar brush

    And a cooling pitralon classic after shave splash.

    Have a nice day.[​IMG]
