Fantastic first shave with a Filarmonica... Loved the heftiness that helped the cutting with its increased size not making it too cumbersome to use. I will try to refresh it a bit for my next shave though.

Nice shave but i find the frameback to be a very stiff blade. Guess im used to a little bit of flex in my blade when shaving. Still, it was a good shave with one of the set i restored. Just a different feel is all.
Kudos, Michael.
You are fortunate to own that razor.
Can we go with Ice Cream Bowl?
After all, the folks at MDC made it to emulate one! Really! :rolleyes:
I can see holding it sideways over the sink and dipping the tips.
Get after it.
Any advise on using the bowl?
Several years of use until you actually use the bowl!
Thanks so much! I do indeed feel fortunate to have this razor. Not only is the workmanship superb, but it's a flat-out great shaver.
As far as the brain/ice cream bowl, I find that MdC needs less loading than most other soaps. For example, with a typical soap, I'll load for about 100 swirls with a 24-26mm brush, close to 200 with a 30mm and up brush, but with the MdC, it's 50 swirls, and I've got enough to shave for two days. I just hold the bowl, load the soap with a damp brush and then go either to the face or a bowl for lather. I've had it for close to 3 years, and haven't made a dent in it.

Strop--SRD Premium 1 and Illinois 6454.
Soap--Mitchell's Wool Fat.
Brush--Outback Magna-Badger.
Aftershave--Alum block, Dickinson's witch hazel, and a generous splash of Aqua-Velva Ice Blue.
Pomade--Goon Grease and Royal Crown dressing.
Result--4 pass bbs workday shave. Don't ask the name of this new to me vintage razor. I can't spell it and much less pronounce it. French is not my forte however it shaves a real treat and that's all that matters. You gents have a great evening. Look sharp and smell nice for the ladies.
Today’s choice was a Tanifuji Maxfli with Proraso cream using a WW custom envy white and then a good splash of Cap’n Choice Sandalwood
