Razor: Shumate Tungsteel
Strop: Unidentified vintage strop
Shaving Cream: Omega Shaving Soap (rebranded Prorasso)
Brush: Cheap Badger
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman
Results: Fantastic! The Shumate has emerged as the clear favorite in my feeble rotation... (thanks Joe!)

Hot shower

Wow did I get a great shave. I couldn't stop touching my face it was sooooo smooth. You would think I would be used to a really smooth shave by now but it was better than ever.

Thanked: 13245Monday morning Test shaves!!!!
Had to test shave razors this morning...
My standard shave using Mitchell's Wool Fat soap and Musgo Real cream mixed into an ultra smooth Uberlather...
The razors are my Boker Red Injun #101 spike point, a antique store rescue....
and one of my "Boker Brothers" beautiful Gold Washed round point King Cutter...
Something about a Boker edge when it is up and running right, is hard to beat, and these two are no exceptions...
Both sides of my face and neck feel nice and smooth....
