Great plating job. Can I ask where and how much? I've got some sow's ears that might make good silk purses.

Although I've been wetshaving for about 35 years, I am fairly new to DE shaving. I've managed to acquire several nice vintage razors, but I'm still in the process of "finding" all sorts of assorted soaps, creams, aftershaves, blades, etc., and I must admit, I'm really rather enjoying it.

today

and some unscented witch hazel, soap was a cake from my local barber.

yesterday a little more daring

Lavender AOS, Conks brush, Cucumber eshave creme, Alum Block, unscented witch hazel
E. Weck & Co. Hair Shaper w/ Personna hair shaper blade.
Very nice close shave but a bit awkward. This time almost blood free. Beats the skin graft first time I used it.

Johnny Gringo,
Thanks for joining in! Be Careful! Th Aquisition Disorders (AD's) kick in strongly and rapidly!!

Tom,
wow, I'd be running from that hair shaper pal, you are a stud! What did you think of those Merkur blades today?

 

[St.Ignatz]

Robert, I like the Merkur, pretty smooth from the first shave. Got them and the Conk brush at "All Makes Electric" 143 S. 13th St. I'll be getting a strop there soon. Picked up a couple cheepo bristle shave brushes for hat use at $5.00 per. Take a look when downtown again.
