    That's the straightest straight razor edge I've ever seen.

    Today was this ESE 15/16 Made in Solingen ( never heard of it before or since)
    Seifenglatt soap with Proraso Blue and some glycerin
    LaToja Splash

    This may well be my very finest shave ever. Anybody ever heard of an ESE before? ese2.jpg ese.jpg

    I got this razor off a member on either SRP or BB and he stated that it was rescaled by a famous razor restoration guy in Germanty? That's all I know about this SR and I cant seem to find another one. It is one of those purchases that I will never regret or sell

    Shaver) Ontario Cutlerly
    Soap) A/A Blend
    Brush) VDH Boar
    PSO) Anthony's
    alum water
    tend skin
    aftershave) Ogallala Bay rum sandalwood W/ Vitamin E added

    This shave took an hour today,I did my usual N-S pass along with XTG pass on my face and a S-N pass on face and neck trimmed by my goatee
    and only one tiny weeper... blade angle is still awkward on XTG passes and S-N passes obviously I really took my time and at the end it is not my closest shave but not my worst either and no need to clean up with a DE shaver...
