Unbelievably smooth, Tom. First and only wedge I've tried. I really like it, but I think I prefer the hollow grinds. Maybe because that's what I'm used to

 

geneva cutlery 5/8.
Lea cream and aftershave.
brush is Maggard synthetic.makes a lot of lather

 

F W Engels Perfection

 

Did anybody tell you that you have some really nice razors?

 

Today's shave was very nice This 8/8 near wedge is the heaviest razor I own. It has a very nice edge and just wiped the whiskers off. Im going to like this one.

Koraat Razor

 

That's a Corker Brian..:rah:

Billy..

 

Thank you Billy. It's a beast

 

Darn you! I'm going to Korat and drool
Seriously, next year I'm up for my aniversary at work. Perhaps by then I can come to a descision of the design.....

 

That vintage aftershave,is the scent as it was when new or is it degraded/change by time?

 

Niiice☺

 

My white Arkie came in yesterday from @Spyder and I put it to it's first use today. I hadn't shaved with my ERN since December and it got the nod. As you'd likely expect, it was a really nice shave. The smoothness of the Arkie finish was most noticeable on the areas where I end up taking multiple strokes - extra smooth. No cuts, nicks, weepers and a super close finish with little noise from the Alum. Yeah, I'll be putting more razors on that stone.

Oh, and I forgot what a noisy razor sounds like. The thin grind on this ERN makes shaving with it like listening to velcro being pulled apart.

Same as new. I have several NOS bottles and they all smell the same. I even had a bottle from 1954, and it still smells the same. 1993 was when the formula changed.

 

Been told that aftershaves and colognes goes bad after a year or two.guess that aint true then that is good news since i have aftershaves that will last for decades.i do store them cold.

 

Hello everyone! Haven't posted much lately, mainly because I was on vacation, but here's today's shave:



- Phoenix & Beau "Spitfire"
- Simpson Commodore
- Colonial Steel Razor
- Lucky Tiger/Jeris Musk

Fantastic. The Colonial Steel might not be the most spectacular looking razor, but it's one of my best shavers

 

I was just wondering where you've been. Glad to have you back with us Hope you had a great vacation!

 

Thank you - and yes I did. Wife and I spent some time in Florida and we've been on 2 Cruises (Bahamas and Caribbean).
