Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle
Semogue SOC Boar
J.A. Henckels 5/8
CWR
Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS

The Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle Shave Soap lathered well with Semogue SOC Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels 5/8 Straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pharaoh's Dreamsicle After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

That is a beautiful razor. Way out of my league. Wootz?

.

 

A blade I haven't visited in a while. I had a wonderful 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Zero issues, from this Full Hollow Solingen.

Razor- 'Mondesir Special 95". By L.Sommer & Co., Solingen.
Brush- Rubberset 400-No Number. Faux Boar knot. It performs great. Plenty of backbone, soft, and holds lather and water well.
Soap- ARKO
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Totem Pole decanter.

 

Thank you Scott. I don’t believe it is Wootz. I do like the subtle hamon visible towards the edge.

 

It looks like Shallow hardening steel with hamon.

Seems to be out of meteorite.

A Saturday shave for royalty !

The royal left me bbs and shaves like it was made for a king , I dig the slightly smiling blade it literally syths through the hair flawlessly. Paa sangre de Drago for the suds and smells!
