Blade of the day happened to be a Fuji , what a gorgeous blade! Yaqi mojito for the brush and h.o.m tobacconist for a plush lather and aftershave!!

 

Freshly honed German made razor. I shaved with this on Monday, a little last reporting this. The edge was very smooth and noisy. I had a nice 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Very well made razor.

Razor- J.Wadsworth Razor Co. Germany
Brush- @oscar11 Special, with a synthetic knot. Wonderful feel.
Soap- ARKO
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

 

Freshly honed. This is an old French near wedge razor. I had an OK shave with this razor, it was my second try at honing it. A little tuggy on the first pass, with 4 days growth. The second pass ATG was much smoother. End result was a DFS.

Razor- DF France. Near Wedge.
Brush- Rubberset 400, No 4.
Soap- AOS Kingsman, Bourbon.
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Magic 1870 decanter.

 

Clean and smooth once again
