    The last two I’ve posted and the M.K. 133 are from a friend that’s ‘thinning the herd’ so to speak.

    Really love that F.F. Steve... I have that non-frameback version and I absolutely love it. :eatdrink047:

    Last night was a Puma family razor, at least I think it is. :)
    Has a 37 inside a Diamond but it is not a model #, as that is a 302 on the reverse.

    Very similar to the Puma 18, but with a heavier grind... great shave.

    My model number is the 303 but it is different than the one pictured.

    But it really feels great in hand.

    PSC Caffeinated After Shave

    The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Lee Mfg. straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Bit of a lag in shaving this past few weeks. But, started today with a new scent free shaving cream from Viking. Seems scented shaving soaps cause me a few minor skin problems. I ordered this and have to say, for the price, I am thoroughly impressed. It lathers exceptionally well. Holds good moisture and allows the blade to easily glide through your whiskers.

    Used the 6/8 Trusteel with a no. 3 Badger hair brush. Followed by Creed Aventus for my wife's pleasure.

    Maiden shave for the black-scaled M.K. 133, soap was 3P lathered with a Thäter boar, and a db of ABC almond balm made for the perfect finish for a perfect shave.

    Thank you Claude. :eatdrink047:
    Would have loved to kept it original, but it was sold as blade only... they forced me to do it. :)

    Beautiful razor! My Grandfather worked as a grinder at Heljestrands factory in Eskilstuna. Perhaps he have grinded your razor or some one of my CVH razors... could be

    Thank you Tom @TestDepth - your SOTD was all the motivation I needed to break out my big W&B. This blade is clearly a contender for the top shaver in my den. It’s that good :happy036:

    Thank you Hans, the 133 is a great razor.

    Sunday morning saw the round nose Novodur 14 shaving like a well-honed Filly 14 does, incredibly well. Soap was Czech and Speake 88 lathered with a Keyhole 4, and a splash of Myrsol Plastic finished up a perfect shave.
