---Tarnished Tuesday---
Razor--John Doe no name.
Strop--SRD Premium 1 and Illinois 6454.
Soap--Four soap concoction of Williams, Kirks, Watkins, and Creamo.
Brush--VDH badger.
Aftershave--witch hazel and a dab of Mennen Afta.
Result--Since I can't post pics you will have to do a visual of this tarnished wonder. I inherited the razor from my Great-Uncle Noah. Before I got it the family even used it to finish scrape a scalded hog. The blade is tarnished to a fine, even, gunmetal gray in a set of scales the color of yellow calf scours. The pin washers are brass although they look like they came out of a farmer's bolt bin. After a good honing on the coticule John Doe is one of my all time great shavers. Today's shave was BBS. You gents have a great week.
