Result: :)
This was a nice one! 2 1/2 passes and Iīm c l e a n. This new English brand/brush, itīs not a custom with tgn knot (nothing wrong with them though, Iīve got a few).
I like this brush a lot, of course it was the first time today and I hope/think itīll get even better. But it loaded tons of soap (30 sec load and enough for approx. 3 1/2 passes, for me) and was very pleasent to my face, soft tips but with a good backbound.

A fabulous shave! I was done in 3 passes but did another just for fun. The wedge of course delivered it's due standard of impressive. Lilac Vegetal and Lotus and Violets is a great Spring/Summer combination. BTW neither one smells very good initially but together they dry down to a very fresh flowery smell very subtle, very nice.

Result: Very smooth BBS, the blade was restored with swirls in the metal to keep the blade etching, so she doesn't look that great, but gave a very comfortable shave...
Thanks for letting me share!
Two blades, One I needed to decide if it was a keeper or not, the other heading out to it's new home, just getting a test shave.
Razor 1 - It's A Peech Wedge (4/8) - Well, I still don't know whether or not to keep it... One one hand, It's a good shaver, and I love wedges... On the other hand, it feels like a toothpick in my big meat-hooks... But it was a fantastic shave, and is a wedge... For now, it stays.
Razor 2. Ontario Cutlery Co. Hollow ground from Geneva NY... It's American steel, Tough as nails, and the bevel was a ***** to set, but she's shaving, and shaving well!
Brush: A brand new Omega boar... An early birthday gift from the wonderful woman in my life.
SS: TOBS Sandalwood Soap... It's been a long time since I facelathered, and this brush did it FANTASTICALLY.
A Quick WTG shave to test the two blades... Both passed well, But I'm still on the fence with the Peech... Keeper or not? We'll see.
