Beautiful Razor and Brush.
I need to get back in the swing of things, but have been dealing with Estate Escrow, and to Quote Clark Gable......"Frankly My Dear I Don't Give a Damn"
That is a bad attitude to have. I received a Beautiful Straight Razor and a Very Beautiful Custom Made Oscar 11 Brush. So in the next couple of days, I will start using this new Brush and give the Straight Razor a trial Run. I need to get my camera out and take a couple of photographs to post on this forum and several other forums.

In these days I am using different soaps in order to compare them with the one I make. After having used for a long time my shaving soap - and with absolute joy, satisfaction and pride - I am now using different soaps in order to get an idea of how my soap performs compared to some "well known" soaps. In this shave I also used a Bourdier razor - not so bad - and an Italian aftershave I recently bought in a shop because, I admit, it is something belonging to my memories of very old times. This "Pino Silvestre" was in fact very popular when I was a kid and I wanted to give it a try. I confess I had a truly different memory of this aftershave - including its fragrance - and it disappointed me quite a lot. Sometimes memories should be left in the place they are becasue they certainly belong to a time gone by and reviving them in a different time could be quite disappointing. As for the soap, I used the well known and celebrated Klar Kabinett and it certainly confirmed to be a very good soap. It is such a pity they quit production, a fate shared with many other good soaps of the past which certainly were not disappointing at all.
- Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
- Soap: Klar Kabinett
- Brush: Zenith 506 Badger Extra Silvetip - 26 mm knot

- Razor: Bourdier 43, 6/8 Full Concave, Double Grind, Round point
- Post-Shave: Alum Block
- Post-Shave: Argan Oil
- After Shave: Pino Silvestre

Comments: The Wolfman takes off a two day growth like nothing. It is so smooth and efficient that it only takes two passes plus a very little clean up. The Soap Commander soap was very good. It lathered easy and gave me a great slick protective shave and post feel is very good! I had a very good shave today with my usual DFS shave! No irritation or weepers!
Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!
Thx.
