    Love the blade, the scales are a pain… but wouldn’t change them. :)

    Touron-Parisot, just back from Chez Alfredo, spotless and ready for the next 160 years. Soap was MdC rose lathered with a SOC boar, and D.R, Harris Pink finished up a great shave.

    Just got this Kinfolk Wedge in today. Vendor picture, haven’t gotten a chance to take a picture yet. It has some pitting that will be taken care of later as it isn’t a problem. Started with a layer of tape and hit the 1k Diamond hone. Then moved onto my Welsh stones 8, 12 and 15k. Stripped on felt and leather. The test shave was reeeeeaaallly nice! I’m finding wedges are the grind I favor. My other straights do well but my two wedge blades have an ace over the others.
    Happy shaves!

    Beautiful razor, Hans! Was the engraving on the blade a business, or an individual’s name? Enjoy your shaves!

    Thanks Jeff! It’s a business engraving. Elfström & Johansson in Nässjö was a Gold smith company that also sold watches, razors and probably other accessories to men and women. They started the business 1920 and closed it 1981.

    Freshly honed, old wedge razor, this morning. This is a test razor, to see if the steel holds up, so I have 6 days of beard to test it out on. I had a good, first pass, with this old Sheffield Wedge.; The second, ATG pass was smooth as silk. I ended up with a BBS shave, with only a minor touch-up, on the chin. Shave one done. I will do a couple more, before sending it back to the owner. BTW, I am not real fond of Wedge razors, but this one did a fine job.

    Razor- Manhattan Cutlery Co. Sheffield. Near Wedge grind.
    Brush- @oscar11 Special. Synthetic knot
    Soap- AOS Kingsman Bourbon
    Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Triple Crown decanter.
