Picked up this little singer at the flea market this weekend-along with some other Solingen blades. I imagine the scales were repurposed.I also got a Klas Thornböm.

Featured Shave of the Day
My first SOTD.

After shaving with this razor for several years -- and in a rare moment of wisdom -- I decided to send it off to the Idaho panhandle for a vacay, complete with spa treatment package and full-body makeover. Thank you, Glen for the magnificent result. Shaves like a dream. (My poor photography surely does an injustice to Glen's work.)

Prep: hot shower
Soap: Williams puck
Brush: Omega Pro boar
BUS (Butt-ugly strop, my own creation, 3" bridle leather)
Razor: Gottlieb & Hammesfahr Pyramide
AV Ice Blue
Olay SPF 15 (pale Irish skin and the S. Florida sun don't play well together)

I'm curious if anyone has input about the Simpsons shaving creams. Obie places them in the first tier, but there's almost no mention of them on this forum.
