Razor: 5/8 Solingen First Class Round Point
Soap: VDH/Old Spice Classic Blend
Mug: Vintage Old Spice
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
Scuttle RAB Ceramic

Great shave this morning! Experimented with the VDH/OS blend (Van Der Hay Navy man) and got it as good as possible without meltingdown. Last time I put a SS in the Microwave (for only 5 seconds) I got a lovely crack in my Vintage Old Spice Mug! Obviously had my head squarely up my...(you get the picture)! I'll have to make some other arrangements before doing the melting thing again! The blend had a great Old Spice scent though and will see how it holds up next time.

Dr. Ralfson,

You're quite welcome kind sir.

It's scary sharp and shaves like a dream too.

Stay tuned...I have another Boker "Red Injun" that I got off Ebay in the wings...I'm sending it off to be honed.

Thanks! You can probably find one on E-Bay. This one is Circa 1948. Good luck!

Pre: wash and hot towel and Proraso
Brush: Semouge 200
Razor: James Bingham
Cream: Vulfix English Rose
Astringent: India alum
Post: Proraso
AS: Tabac
Result: Very nice shave - with some bumps!
This is a nice little wedgy that holds an edge real good. However, the mosquitos love the back of my head and of course I nicked three of them . Well nothing that Proraso gel and wife can´t fix. Other than that, very nice and smooth piece of head now !
