Used everything in the pic, 2 pass test drive. DFS results, handling the curves and straight aways on my face with the finesse of the German car that shares her name, and my driveway coincidently..
A good German shaver to add to my collection.

This old razor gives one silky sticky smooth shave! It has the original horn scales which are a little flea bitten, but I like it warts and all. What a fantastic way to start the last day of the work week!

Have a Great Friday Gents!

Good morning on a bright and sunny Florida Friday

Had to break away from one key element of my setup this morning, giving the Shavemac Americana a rest after close to 30 days of straight use as it shed a few too many hairs during the last two shaves and I switched that vital cog in the shave machine with a simple Savile Row that showed me the contrast between the D01 3 band and SR's soft "Best" badger. It truly felt like what most folks would consider a "shave brush". Just enough backbone, certainly a pleasing softness, and it took to the Tabac very well. I am nearing the end of this Tabac puck that came in the milkglass jar but don't worry, I have backup!

A splash of Floris JF completes the shave. A pricy bit of juice but one of my all time favorites dating back to 2007 and at least 4 flacons have bit the dust since then. If one would desire close to supreme luxury in an aftershave splash, the Floris would be it.

15 laps on Kanayama shell postshave and I placed the Heljestrand back into its case gently along with its twin.
