Result : BBS, great shave, small nick on the neck. I used a campbells soup mug because the bowl I have annoys me with soap because it always goes up the side and sence I havn't gotten my Old Spice mug that I want this is the only one I could find to use.
Just restored this 5/8 oldy but goody one using the original scales. It was a challenge..but man it is worth the shave!. I still am an advocate of the AOS sandlewood line. If anyone want to turn me on to a better one let me know. Thanks

Lather: Palmolive classic cream whipped hard by an unknown 1930s badger in stacked mugs

Every time I see the work of our very own Max it makes me wish I had a big box of razors and a big box of money to send his way.
Hat's off, you do some gorgeous work.
