Sunday morning
Hot water prep
Cocodrilo #14 razor - Coate's cream - generic badger brush - cold water splash - Thayer's Rose witch hazel resplash - Proraso green tea & oat balm - hot towel - Harris Arlington after shave - Penhaligon's Eau de Verveine EdT
Tunes: Hank Mobley - Soul Station (1960)
Flawless shave with the Cocodrilo 8/8. Enjoyed with a cup of Java.
This razor had spent a few months at a friends house for evaluation, but yesterday it returned to the herd.
The response of the herd was positive. You'll see most of them smiling.

Is that the same one that I saw as a restore job posted up here a month or so ago? Been on the lookout ever since! Very elegant razor Originally Posted by sashimi

Cheers Damian, give me the low down on your new Puma, I'm confident you will receive a top quality shave from that blade. Originally Posted by Damo

No it isn't. Mine has not been restored. A good friend of mine has an identical one that he got restored by Brad recently. Perhaps you're referring to that one. He got himself black horn scales and a metal lined wedge. Mine still has the old Bakelite scales and plastic white spacer. I really like this blade. It's on par with my Filly.
