Looks like a very nice razor Robert!Quote:
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Pre-Shave Oil: Truffit & Hill Music: Joaquin Rodrigo, "Concierto de Aranjuez: I. Allegro con spirito" Razor: 7/8" Novelty 1879, Hollow, Spike point (custom madrone scales) Strop: SRD Premium IV (60/75) Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger Überlather: Geo Trumper's Violet Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Victorian Violets Shave Soap + Glycerin Post-shave/Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer AS Splash: Irisch Moos Result: I haven't read or heard about guys owning, using and/or posting about this blade, but I really enjoy using my Novelty. The size (7/8"), shape (spike point), grind (~1/2 hollow), scales (madrone), balance and the edge all culminate into making this razor one of the best in my collection. As far as lather, a mix of Trumper's Violet and Mama Bear's Violet soap seemed appropriate. The result was nothing short of übergreat. The scent; heavenly!! An awesome and BBS shave. Nuf said :).
