    Pre: Proraso white preshave cream
    Razor: Henry L Bellefontaine "Dryonit"
    Soap: SV
    Brush: Simpson Special

    This was my first shave with this razor. I found it in an antique store some time ago. I honed it yesterday on my Naniwa stones. I was very pleased with the keen edge on this razor. An absolute pleasure....it shaved like a dream.
