Thank you Hans! And beautiful example of the MK31.

 

My trusty Russian Paketa, celebrating the first human in space, gave a fantastic shave. It’s a lightweight razor and seems to like a flatter angle than most. It likes to make noise as well

Hot water preparation
Argan Oil PSO
T&H Wellington Super Badger
Haslinger Aloe Vera Shave Soap
1961 STIZ Paketa 5/8
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel



Happy shaving - Karl

 

Back to the Crookes today, and I Coloniali Mango Oil soap and Rhubarb AS were perf3ct for a winter day.

 

Thanks Tom, I have 3 MK 31 and 4 Mk 30. The 30 has a special feeling due to the fact that I received one at my 20 birthday from my late father. However the 31 is something special! If you have not tried one, don’t waste your time Gents!

Rifuto, cream was ‘XPEC 1913’, unscented XPEC scented with Domenico Caraceni 1913. A Razorock boar did the lathering and a bit of C&C 88 AS finished up.

 

The big Spaniard left me face-rubbing smooth and feeling great

Let’s keep the W&B train chugging
Brush: Shavemac
Suds: Catie’s Bubbles for WCS

Had some fun recently with this one… rescaled in old horn, reshaped the tip and added the barber’s notch, and then put one of the small Okudo’s edges on it. Good fun.

Enjoy your shave.
Tom

 

I heard the call and the big W&B did the trick. This is really wonderful razor

Wade and Butcher, probably early 1800s. Soap and balm were ABC and a Paladin Chief did the lathering.

 

Stellar looking razor
