First SOTD post...
Have loved browsing these posts gentlemen. My wife is struggling to understand my ever-so-slight obsession with this morning ritual so I feel a little like I'm joining a "straight razor anonymous support group"
Here is this morning's line up:

Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum & Lemongrass
Brush: Vulfix #405 Best Badger
Blade: Fred Dolle "Do Do" 4/8 square point
Astringent: Witch Hazel
AS: Ogallala Bay Rum Limes & Peppercorn

8/8 Erik Anton Berg

Now, this one is special. The Rademacher Forges in Eskilstuna, that started out as a cluster of 20 or so forges, amongst them JA Hellberg, CV Heljestrand & EA Berg, is still mostly intact today, the city of Eskilstuna has been very careful when making changes in the area.
Some are museums, cafes & such and some others houses knifemakers & similar. The "Bergska smedjan" is run today by a knifemaker.
As it turns out it was this gentleman who sold me this razor, so this one is not only NOS & huge, it has spent its entire life in the very forge were it was made in the very heart of the Swedish razor forges!
The Berg Forge.
