Caties Midnight Dreary

Nice shave this morning. I can't identify this Sheffield (Lan "something" ear). It has an acorn stamp on the tang. I really enjoy shaving with these old wedges. Have a good one.

 

Dovo 55 Fritz Bracht

 

One of the best shavers right there

 

If you could recommend 1 catie's bubbles a good all around soap what would it be?

 

+1

 

Here are the 8 caties I have with a description

Jar din de or - Love this one, great lather and spicy scent

La Gardenia - My most favorite - very floral gardenia scent, I love floral but this one is an exceptional latherer

La rose du mechant - another very floral scent that lathers well

Spanish Holiday - a leathery cedar scent, nice lather

Midnight Dreary - scent of the ocean at midnight - good lather

La Terre Verte - sandalwood is not my favorite in any soap but a great ;ather non the less, not a strong scent

Le Piment de le vie, spicy scent, one of my favs, awesome lather

Sandalwood & not my fav but does lather well

My fav of these would be La gardenia or Jar din de or because I love the scents and they seem to lather just a bit better

J. Rodgers Custom…

 

Thank you, I have heard a lot of good things about Catie's bubbles and it seams to be your go to soap I am thinking about a rose scented soap.

 

You will like the Le rose du mechant then. It is a good one

 

2 questions..

what kind of wood ae those scales made of?

Is that soap from gingers garden?

 

1. Zebra wood with a CA (Cyanoacrylate glue) finish…
Early stages of finish application….


2. The soap is a test sample with a 'flip-lid' from TSD member, Salty Belle. She makes some top-shelf soaps!

 

Thanks for the info Kevin. very nice work. I can't wait to get the garage setup, so that I can start tinkering with some wood.

 

Hart Steel Custom by Terry Van Norman ( notice his bear paw trademark, he is one of the best at Hart Steel IMO) with Maroon Micarta scales. Nice edge on this one even after 20+ uses. It still has the factory edge
Caties La rose Du Mechan - wonderful floral scent and awesome lather
Omega Boar - I rarely use a boar but always enjoy this one when I do
Floid Black Label

 

A 7/8" Dorko by Wacker Sr.
This razor is an older Dorko blank which was ground to full hollow and given a Spanish tip by Heriberto Wacker. An absolutely fantastic razor, in my opinion, I really enjoy the shaves this baby gives me.
