Wade & Butcher Celebrated Rattler, 7/8 Faux Frameback Half Hollow, Barber's Notch

Sometimes I like to shave with very old straight razors and, in particular, with those capable of showing their age. Despite of time and age, they always prove to be excellent straight razors, capable of giving an excellent shave. Just like this Wade & Butcher Celebrated Rattler - still having its original scales - a razor which passed through all of the past century and survived still today. With my joy and proud, of course.

Nice shave this morning. I tried a new soap today. Very nice scent, lathered well and provided a good close protective shave. To me, the scent is too complex to describe other than it's very nice. I'll add that it's a hard soap and triple milled. Have a good one.
