C.V. Heljestrand M.K. 133, soap and AS were Floris Elite, and a M&F Alibaba 2 in Finest did the lathering.

 

Had some fun bringing this one back to life…
Looks like an early Queen Victoria era Cast Steel blade. Hefty wedge.
Brush: Shavemac Ebonite
Suds: Oleo Soapworks
Great Sandalwood scent.

Enjoy your shave.

Another warm day here today, 7/8 Rigarazor, soap was Stirling Clementine lathered with a Tuplip 2 and a splash of Myrsol Limon finished up the shave. A spray of Floris Special No 127 was right in line with the spring flowers that are beginning to bloom.

 

Inspired by @Steve56’s shave I brought out my Rigarazor. It’s a great blade and left me smooth, smooth, smooth

Interchangeable blade (lever locking) Georget, faux damascus pattern and nice bone scales. I’m 99.9% sure this is the same razor as the James H. Flagg that I’ve posted before. The box has English wording, and the monkey tail is stamped ‘SRD’, which would have been S. R. Droescher, who was an importer to the US. Cream and AS were Dior Eau Sauvage, and the Rooney beehive did the lathering. A great way to end the week.

Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #41 2-band Badger
Russian Rocket 5/8
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Musgo Real Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Russian Rocket 5/8 Straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Filarmonica 14 DT gen 1 with an edge off the ‘chocolate kiita’, soap was MdC vetyver lathered with a lime Paladin Chief, and a splash of Myrsol Formula K (peppermint) made for a fine spring morning.

 

Maiden voyage of the Thistle Cut newly honed by @gssixgun. Now that’s what I’m talking about - super easy and smooth shave making short work of the stubble in record time. Truly enjoyable shave

Filarmonica 14 Doble Temple

 

I was cooking yesterday, and forgot to post, user grade TI Dominator in green box elder burl, soap and AS were Santa Maria Novella, and spritz of Floris Special No 127 finished up. A Simpsons Keyhole 3 did the lathering.

 

Today, Filamonica 14 Novodur user grade (though near full width), soap was ABC sandolo rosso lathered with a 2-band Keyhole copy by @life2short1971 . A splash of Agua Balsamica was followed by a spritz of Floris Santal. A nice shave ia always a good way to start off the week.

 

The Mappin & Webb left me smooth and smooth - easy peasy
