Prep: Cool wash/Cool rinse
Lather: Castle Forbes Lavender Cream
Brush: Semogue 2030-b
Razor: Greaves & Sons 13/16 Spanish Point Wedge
Post: Alum/Witch Hazel
Fragrance: D&G Pour Homme

Purchased this razor off the 'bay because I'm a sucker for thumb notches and Spanish points.
Honed it up (1K/4K/8K/12K/CrOx) to make sure it shaved well, and surprise, surprise. It's fantastic.
Will be having it fully restored in the very near future.

Thanks Steve and thank you Andrew, one doesn't often like to blow ones own trumpet, but for a early Filarmonica possibly early 1940s probably more than 70 years old I'm always impressed with this razor not only for it's looks but it's a fantastic shaver and honestly I use this razor weekly and I cannot remember the last time I took this razor to the hones.

Thank you Jamie! It's a pleasure to see such a mint looking Filarmonica. I dream of owning one some day. They're still out there, Just gotta have the right money but for now you know I'm waiting on my Waterhouse. He got started on it & then went out of town but he'll be back on it as soon as he gets back. I also inquired about a half hollow like yours so he'll be doing me one like that next. I like it a lot!
Take care my friend.
Steve

Well, well, well, although you will be unpacking your bags away from your wife's eyes, I guess you should however tell us about the many catches of the day! At least a quite huge anticipation!
You know we are very curious and, as for telling your wife everything about your crazy shopping in London, I guess we may find a good deal in order to keep our mouths shut! After all, what are friends for?
