Nice razor. I have an Eicker & Sohne Heartring from Bill Ellis. Superb shaver.

Yous guys post such great pics I'm almost ashamed to post here....

Thursday:

Today was shave test day

AOS Fine Badger
TM RL strop
De Verguld Hand soap
Genco 6/8 SP off the Norton 8K
Bengall 11/16 SP off the Norton 8K
Revisor 5/8 off the Belgian Yellow
Pinaud Clubman
444 a/s balm mixed with the Pinaud


The Genco is there. I sometimes wonder why I bother with anything after the Norton 8K. This razor gave me a helluva shave.

The Bengall and Revisor need a little more work - close though.

Wapi 5/8+
Rooney 2/1 Super BB
Proraso SC
Armani Code Cologne

Kind regards,

5/8 L.West
Vulfix 660 Medium Pure

5/8 TI Wheatfield Pattern
Duke 3
Kent Woolfat
Cold Water Splash
Ginseng ASB

Best Str8 shave to date...........the future's so bright, I've gotta wear shades!

More testing today.

Muehle ST brush
TM RL Strop
CF Lime Cream
Genco 6/8 SP off Chrome Ox.
Bengall 11/16 off Chrom Ox.
Revisor 5/8 off Yellow Belgian
Royall Lime w/ 444 balm
TOBS Victorian Lime 74

Genco and Revisor are golden. The Bengall needs a little more work. I had been losing hope about the ability of my Yellow to finish. Today, I did about 75 passes with just water on the Revisor. The edge is now so there! 'Bout time! Great shave and a wonderful limey day.
