From a roadside market in Orangeville, Ontario, to Wolfpacks Laboratory in California to be restored and resurrected, and back to Toronto, this American Challenge Cutlery Co. razor was an absolute delight to shave with and my first American razor! Mike put a stunning edge on the blade, using the Coticule, then an Escher as the finishing stones, then stropped using a lead impregnated strop. Delightful shave, and not bad for a $10.00 Cdn straight razor!

Thanks Wolfpack!

Thanks - that's the one the wife found...when I was typing in that she found it in Bolton, she corrected me and said it was in Orangeville!

Beautiful shave, the sound of the razor and the feel reminded me a lot of the Filarmonica's...was a really great, close, comfortable shave.

Not a lot of thought given to this mornings shave just started grabbing whatever I liked. Very nice shave this morning. This brush is a duplicate of my favorite boar that I gave away. It isn't broken in yet so it isn't as comfortable as my old one. I've been messing around with synthetics so I've been ignoring the rest. Have a good one.
