Razor Made by Samuel Creswick between 1702 and 1720ish, roughly 6/8
Strop The old standby, a Mountain Man Mike. The only strop I’ve ever bought
Brush An Omega badger given to me early on as a Christmas gift by my friends.
Shaving cream Al’s ‘Boheme’
Aftershave The aftershave version of Boehme.
I was impatient to shave with this. I didn’t dial in the edge as well as I could have. Plus, it’d been a couple of weeks since I’d shaved, so the first pass was harsher than I like.
The second pass was lovely though, and in truth this 300 year old razor shaves as well as any given Sheffield razor that’s gotten an impatient honing job.
What more can be said? My hobby of collecting and researching old razors made me acutely aware of the gulf of years between me and the creation of the razor. It’s only about 2 generations away from the beginning of the Cutlers’ Company. Sam Creswick’s grandfather became a cutler before the Company kept records for apprenticeships. His family were at the ground floor of the organization, and the world has changed remarkably since then.
Steel, however, still cuts. Some iron, a little carbon and a Chef’s secret mix of trace element spices (the chef in this case being geology, because metallurgy wasn’t quite to the point of controlling more than the two main ingredients), and there’s a piece of steel that can do a very specific job for hundreds of years.’
Today it’s job was shaving me, and it did it well. I’m grateful.
Razor: 3 Piece "Property of U.S. Army"
Blade: Big Ben Super Stainless
Cream: The Real Shave Co.
I'm living in a hotel room out of town for the week for work, so this will pretty much be my SOTD all week.
