...and he does it again!!! How's the Somerset?

Robert if you're not the real thing yet, you'll do until the real thing comes along..Just keep leading the way.....

The Somerset is a joy to shave with..Very soft tips, not too dense, shares the lather with creams and soaps..Recommended....

Best regards,
Julian

Cool dude Congrats.

Ahhhh what a week.
I have been hanging out in the did not shave today club for a couple days, and likely will not have opportunity to get a razor out until next week. Needless to say I took my time and really enjoyed this mornings shave.

CS strop, Rooney brush, Fitjar bay rum soap, Dovo Blackstar, finished with witch hazel followed by a coffee.


Have a great weekend all.

That is all.

Amen brother and thank you

Monroe,
If you Gotta shave, you Gotta do it right. Well done

Sten,
Mystery or not, she's a beauty and that's all that matters. Sometimes, that makes it even more intriguing. I heard that C&E Sandalwood is a wonderful scent...true?

Great closeup Tim...Nice razor. The BH is a wonderful (yet underrated) soap. Intoxicating scent for sure.

Congrats on this acquisition Kalerolf. She's a beautiful razor indeed. Joe is a fabulous guy to deal with too (so it's a double plus). Mama Bear soaps rock too

Glad you enjoyed your time Mikael

Yeap...confused for sure. I know finance guys use this kind of mumbo jumbo to complicate the heck of an otherwise simple system, LOOOOL. Glad that you could at least find your way home after that, LOOOOOL

Im still looking for my Great grand fathers Novodure 13 and his Fili EPBD. If anyone see's them please let me know.

If I knew the history behind the SSA, I would have spent a longer time honing her up. Can't believe that you could make those out as being your GGF's.

I think I recently spotted the Novodur...he was chasing after that EPBD that went for $1,200, which in turn was camouflaging herself as that $100K razor you had a link to, LOOOOOL.

You're welcome Rene. Pleasure was all mine. I am still not very happy with the heel area, but it is what it is.

Oh great Julian...now, I am expandable? LOOOOOL. The good ol' "Will do until the next best thing comes along" philosophy, eh, LOOOOOOL.

Thanks for the Somerset minireview buddy. What about backbone? is she a stiff or floppy or somewhere in between?
