    I touched this one up on the barbers hone, and just had to have another shave with the Flic. I’m really glad I was able to get this one:)

    For tonight I went with one of the solid performers
    Bismarck Razor Works 5/8 #406
    Henry Cavandish pure badger
    Col Conk almond
    Myrsol aftershave balm [​IMG]
    Somehow this razor still feels like it just came off the hones after about 25 shaves. It holds the edge better than any other razor I own. Other than it biting me twice it gave a good smooth shave.

    Hey Tom! I have that same soap by soap commander. One of my favorites, but I have limited it’s use since it’s been discontinued. Thankfully I still have almost a full tub left. Jeff’s soap by CRSW scent is very close which makes me :bounce015:

    K. C. Seelbach “Buddy”. I love this era of hollow ground Straights from Solingen. Style, appearance, and shave quality are all top shelf:)

    Such a crisp, clean scent. I think it is my favorite scent for a balm. Great to hear there is another option but with these Soap Commander soaps it could last to 2025! :)

    Army/Navy week continues...

    Soap: Stirling (Army) Piacenza
    A/S: Soap Commander (Navy) Courage
    Brush: Simpson Chubby 1
    Razor: Imperial 20507 “Army and Navy”
    8F15C9AE-2F55-4A99-80B7-6CAFD945BF71.jpeg
    I see quite a few different etchings on this model blade but I am slightly partial to this one.
    This was my first attempt at doing wood scales a few years back, and I learned a lot from this forum on finishing them. Lots of flaws but great experience for me to put theory into practice.

    Enjoy your shave! Go Navy!
    Tom.
