BBS Shave this morning with the Helje! All the reports about the great performance of this razor were absolutely correct; this is an outstanding shaver! Really great photos this week Gentlemen and it's great to see so many new (old) members joining in with their outstanding shots for our enjoyment! Thanks for sharing.

Bruce,

Wonderful soap mug.

This is my first real test shave with somebody else's razor! SRP member prosneek stopped by to show me the Shumate Shuraco he won off eBay. I wiped it down with some Maas, took it to the stones, and just finished shaving my neck below my beard.

The tang has MOP covers but the backside has about 1/8" missing. Eventually it might be restored but for now he needs something to shave with while cleaning up his lone other razor.

Razor: Shumate Shuraco
Soap: The Gentlemen's Quarter Savon de Campagne
Brush: Ever-Ready handle with new super badger knot
After: Royall Bay Rhum



Cheers!

The Shuraco is a top ten razor for me. Great pic and great score for your friend.

• Fritz Bracht "Tennis #80"
• Thäter
• SRD Lavender

Looks like this razor was never honed before. A 1930s factory edge. Shave ready? Yup.
