The W&B never fails to give a really smooth shave. Went looking for the real root beer this morning and found the bottle in the picture. I let you know how it tastes when she opens it.

Root beer w/ EtOH!!?? Go figure...nice history. Thanks for sharing . Interesting. Would love to get your feedback on how you liked it.

Niiiiiiice W&B buddy .

Glen,
That looks like the scales I got from Glen on my Genco...Niiiiiiiice!!

Mikael, I always admire this brush. It looks like it would fit the hand nicely and I bet it makes a great lather.

Chris,

The scales on your razor are absolutely gorgeous.

He also fitted her into new "Swirled Gold" acrylic scales, which seem to fit her perfectly. She handles great, but the shave is even better...yet another of Glen's wickedly sharp edges. Glen: thank you again for this great restore . Who could ask for anything more? The Castle Forbes Lavender/Proraso/Glycerin überlather provided for a fabulous cushion for this Genco to debut her performance. A super BBS and smooth skin. The Trumper moisturizer/Floïd mix put the perfect finishing touches to a great Sunday shave.

Beautiful "Easy Aces" Robert! Those scales really do a nice job of complimenting the blade. We have such talented folks here on SRP! Great job Glen! Enjoy it Robert!

Glenn

p.s. you're right, looks like the same scale material on the Kama

Love the scales on this blade Bill! Looks like an amazing SOTD!

I have one of those. Took some honing labor but it is a sweet shaver.

I've come home for 2 days to mow the lawns, do a few things around the house, and do some restoration work.
Which means access to more razors and some hones.
This C&S was one of my early hone jobs and I've allways felt it wasnt living up to its potential. So with some more experience under my belt I took it to the hones today. I've got it dialled in now, gave me a sweet sharp and smooth shave off the coti. I'll give it a ride on the Thuri tomorrow, but I wanted to test it off the coticule first.

Have a great week gentlemen

Thank you, Sharp! It´s a sweet brush, both to hold and lather with . I´m very happy with it and it´s one of my favourites, for sure.

That Kama looks like it means business . Real nice one!!
