Thanks so much. I was really struck in a 2 day succession: First by the spectacular shave of the DD I already have and then the photo of your DD.

Filiarmonica DT 13 | Kanayama | Bomb Potomac + Proraso White + Glycerin | Thayers Lavender | Bomb Potomoac ASB | Montale Red Vetyver

I was never quite satisfied with the shave I got from this Fili, so I took her back to the stones. Let's just say it was time well spent. The blade was smooth and she left my face so clean I can't describe. The Bomb was, as usual, exactly as it's name describes. The Potomac scent is awesome. Then, the piece de resistance - Montale Red Vetyver.

The SOTDs are inspiring and start my day off right each morning. Thank you gentlemen!

Prep: Hot shower
Scuttle: SRD
Brush: TGN Custom Silvertip Premium A
Uberlather: Tabac cream, Tabac soap, 5 drops glycerin
Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle 25 webbing/50 leather
Razor: Livi 6/8
After Shave: Master's Bayrum
EDT: Cuba "red"
Result: I picked up the Cuba EDT on Friday last week and have been completely captivated by it. It smells like the sweet smell of a cigar humidor (spanish cedar & tobacco). I decided this morning to follow the clean scent of the Tabac with some Bayrum followed by the Cuba "red" and I feel like a million bucks. The Lather this morning was amazing and I had enough to easily do my 3 passes. The heft of the 6/8 Livi blade mowed down the whiskers with zero irritation.

Have a great day gentlemen! I love all the beautifull razors we have seen so far this week !

The designs on the handle appears to be a forget-me-knot flowers duplicated in small scale down the handle. These flowers were used as a secret coded recognition of Freemasons during the WWII period in Europe. There is a stamp on the back of the cross of Constantine that says "Israel"; another of the Templar chivalric orders; Knight of the Red Cross of the Temple of Jerusalem. With all the designs presented on this piece, I surmise this was probably made during the WWII period in Europe by a Freemason probably a Knights Templar. Of course this is just my wild guess but at any rate, I thought it looked cool and I related to it.

That's interesting, Bruce!

I wasn't aware that there are present day Knights Templar. I was under the impression that they were wiped out in the Middle Ages..

I'll have to bone up on the subject!
