Hi the watermark,
I like nice things, I don't need many of them (I have very few), but I like a few nice things. And I like this razor. I'm WAY into straight razors at the moment, an obsession to add to vintage cufflinks, vintage fountain pens, vintage tea and coffee cups, etc. I'd like to know more about this razor. Where did you get it? Is it old? Is it an old blade with new scales? How much (if you don't mind me asking) did it set you back? Will you sell it to me? Can you tell me where to get one? etc......

Thanks for the soapdish I have two of these. Actually, this originally bonbon dishes . I saw them at a flea market and fell in love with these bowls.

As for morning or evening shaving, they are equally smooth.
But I often have more time on weekdays in the evening so that's why I shave more often in the evening.
And I find it pleasant and enjoy shaving and just pleased to take my time.
My wife calls it quality time for me, life is busy enough.

TOO TRUE! My thoughts exactly...

Good morning Gentlemen!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Long-handled FS Finest
Soap: Decided to überlather today, Palmolive and VdH with a few drops of glycerin
Razor: Platipus 88, 5/8 spike hollow ground
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: English leather
Notes: Luxurious shave with that überlather. Razor was a little harsh and needed a thorough stropping, but after that it was fine. It'll recieve another good stropping before next use and I expect it will be perfect.



A lovely saturday to you all!

Oh, and Robert - big congrats on reaching 3k posts

Sorry about your camera. Glad your having fun.

Razor: Wade & Butcher "The Celebrated Hollow Ground"
Pre-shave: Noxzema
Brush: Unknown boar
Soap: Handmade Naturals Frankincense
AS: Thayers Lavender and Hai Karate
Result: Great start to the day. Between the frankincense soap and the beast that is this W&B, I feel like a million bucks. One pass plus some touch up BBS.
