Thread: Sun June 5th - Sat June 11th

This shave is partly a belated nod to Mark (Blugill), RIP.

My compliments to all the contributors this week, and my apologies. If I went through this thread "liking" everything, this post would probably belong in next week's thread.

Earlier this week, a parcel arrived from Neil Miller:



Interesting box, eh?



A matched pair of Rodgers in ivory, which I picked up for a song a while back. There was quite a lot of active rust, and one of the scales needed replacing. As things turned out, Neil wound up doing quite a lot of additional work: another new scale, some grinding and lots of buffing, none of which is within my scope. Needless to say I'm bowled over with the results, and my hat is well and truly doffed to him.

SRP:


New Forest 2211 silvertip; Martin de Candre; witch hazel; Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta.

Normally I get on better with full hollows, like a lot of people I suspect, but both of these shave as well and as easily as anything else I've used.

That's a beautiful looking razor Andy.
