    Thank you sir.. So you were bidding on it too? The case looked much better than in the pictures and the razors were in very good condition. It was a gamble, but since the seller didn't seem to know what he was selling, I took the chance. I am very happy that I did.

    I should add - The case was not a Brookes & Crookes case. It was a Mappin & Webb case. Still. A great purchase.

    hot bath with TGQ Cavendish Black bath soap

    7/8 Wade & Butcher "Barbers Rattler"
    Loom Strop
    Everready Pure Badger brush
    TGQ Cavendish Black Shaving soap
    Alum Block
    no a/s used

    3 passes bbs, decided to forego the aftershave, although I received a shipment of Ogallala Bay Rum yesterday. The Cavendish Black just smelled too good to cover it up with anything else.

    Sorry about the bad picture quality

    EDIT:

    So this was a double first

    First shave with Sheffield steel and first shave with a wedge... I liked it very much even tho the silence was sort of deafening. It is amusing as I had never conscientiously noticed the shaving sound until this absence of sound. At first I even thought the razor wasn't shaving but just gliding on top of the stubble.
