7/8 Henckels Friodur

 

Frederick Reynolds is known for dyed horn.

 

Thanks, that’s probably what they are!

 

A very fine razor, made for France, in Germany. A smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. It was such a smooth shave, that I had to see if it was cutting correctly. It was, I just couldn't feel the hairs being cut, and almost no noise. It is a very well made razor.

M.K. 32 in tortoise Kirinite by Alfredo Gil - cream was I Coloniali Rhubarb lathered with a Keyhole 4, and it’s too hot for a balm so a splash of Myrsol did the trick.

 

How do you like the Spieck shaving cream Scott? I’ve been thinking about trying it.

 

Such a tasteful rescale on that 32 Steve… always love seeing that one.

Went with a Cool shave today
Charlie Lewis in Bocote
Brush: Rudy Vey
Suds/Splash/EDC: B&M Reserve Cool

2010 custom from Mr. Lewis. Can’t let Keith have all the modern smilers.

Enjoy your shave.
Tom

 

Thank you Tom!

 

very cool Joe..

 

Those Myrsol bottles are so photogenic!

 

i just got the myrsol blue aftershave a while back.my wife asked where i got the cool vintage bottle from....

 

Thank you gents!

 

Thanks Gary! This razor is almost 70 yrs old!

 

BTW, the Myrsol side ‘flutes’ were supposedly designed so that you could get a grip on the bottle with wet fingers and not spoil the not so waterproof label (then). I don’t know if this is true or not, but this tale has been around a while.

 

Rugby 1961 in spalted maple by Alfredo Gil - soap and AS were Stirling Green, the brush was a Simpsons 57.
