Smooth Shaves to you my friends

Today I had the privilege of testshaving a prototype straight from a soon to be manufacturer. Blade is a 7/8 in VG-10 steel, scales are Ebony, pins are brass. Must say it was a very pleasant experience. Some minor issues. Pinning could be a bit firmer because scales were a little to loose in movement. Some rough spots from the productionline, but overall impressive for an almost ready production prototype.



Prep: Hot Shower, Hot wet towel
Lather: Vintage Shaving Company Trad Shave Cream
Brush: Muhle Fibre Silvertip M,
Razor: Prototype straight. 7/8 in VG-10 steel, Full Hollow ground, wooden Ebony scales.

A/S: Hot water rinse, Alum, Taylor of Old Bond Street Jermyn

I overslept and did not have the time to enjoy a straight shave (and there is no way I am going to rush one of those, I enjoy them way too much), so DE it was.
