    Filarmonica 14 Especial, a user grade razor (cosmetics) that’s near full width. Always a nice shave from an Especial.

    I’m thinking late 1920s to early 30s.

    Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Start Shaving Cream (CTAPT)
    Jayaruh #224
    Fredrick Reynolds 5/8
    CWS
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

    The Start Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fredrick Reynolds 5/8 Straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    By the way old things, the other day on my way to work I passed a German registered Trabant on the highway! Not every day you see one.

    Newly Acquired, Restored(very little needed), and Honed. This was a wonderful 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Zero issues, with very little feedback from the aftershave. I wouldn't hesitate picking up another razor like this, if it popped up again.

    Razor- "Blue Steel Special", for H&H Grinding Co. Cleveland OH. Made in Germany.
    Brush- @Jayaruh #262. Birdseye Maple/Ebony woods. Silvertip Badger Knot.
    Soap- AOS Kingsman "Bourbon".
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Magic 19870 Decanter.
