Shorty Filarmonica 14 first generation
fantastic shave

 

This Ragg near wedge has a very sharp edge so it requires more attention than most. But, wow, did it ever do the job on three days of stubble. Feeling very refreshed and smooth

Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Archaic Eureka Shave Soap
Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar
M. Hunter & Son 5/8
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel

The Archaic Eureka Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the M. Hunter & Son 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

A wonderful Saturday morning shave with my the razor that started it all for me my cattaraugus green lizard , sent it back to @gssixgun for a shapton 30k laser edge and boy it did not disappoint! Used a yaqi synthetic mojito brush and moon soaps havana soap and aftershave to finish her off!!

 

Claus 6/8

I haven't used this straight in a long time, but after stropping on linen and leather I got one of the best shaves ever with one pass.

 

Looks like a Barbie themed shave

 

That's what I was thinking. I sent this photo to a friend of mine in Asheville who was going to the Barbie Movie with his wife yesterday. It has an incredible edge though. Claus was German and came to the mid west and then Fremont, California where this one was made. It looks brand new. I wonder if this was the original set of scales. Unusual.

 

Fine, fine shave from the Otto Busch
