SOTD Thursday May 27, 2010

Razor: 15/16 Geo. Wostenholm & Sons Celebrated I-XL Wedge Hollow Point
Rockingham Works Ca. 1836 - 1847
Soap/Mug: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Brush: Omega Boar
ASB: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum

First shave with this chopper and I must admit to being a little intimidated by the size of it! The spine of this thing is 3/16 wide and it weights about 3 ozs. It's really a beautiful razor for something that's about 170-180 years old. I have seen a number of Wostie choppers that were from the Washington Works but the Rockingham Works predates the Washington Works as far as I could determine. This thing took a wicked edge with only a few strokes on the hone. The shave was smooth and comfortable; very pleasant and mild, not at all what I expected. This beauty is a keeper!
Great shaves shown by all this morning Gentlemen!

An hour ride on your cycle. I bet that was a real pleasure. Wish I could have joined you.

BTW...Your shaving kit is a fitting finish to your ride.

Chris,

So you're a TI man too...I think you'll agree they are nice shavers.

What a razor, Mark! Love those scales!

jhenry,

It was really relaxing to be able to ride with absolutely no scheduled things to do and then just be able to take a long relaxing shave.

It was a good morning!!
