Novodur 14, soap was ABC old formula lathered with a M&F, AS was the autumn appropriate Agua Balsamica. Great shave!

 

Newly Acquired, Restored, and Honed. It has been two weeks since I shaved last, and this little 11/16th inch razor took the whiskers off like they weren't even there. Just plain smooth. This is a great shaving razor.

Razor- "The Blacky". Union B.S. Co. Baltimore Md.
Brush- @oscar11 Creation. Synthetic Knot
Soap- ARKO
Aftershave- Avon Spicy. Willys Jeep Decanter.

 

I put this Suzumasa on a Yellow Lake finisher for some touch up. It’s one of those razors that comes close but never quite reaches the shave I really want. It may be there now. It took down three days of stubble easier than most with minimal clean up. Super smooth result in no time

Hot water preparation
Argan Oil PSO
Savile Row 3824
Sterling Sharp Dressed Man sample
Suzumasa AA 13/16 FBU
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel



Happy shaving - Karl

Is there a webpage I could go to where I could learn about the different models and the history?

 

Thank you sir!
