Second: That is a great looking razor you got there. Pardon me for asking, but was that done by Glen (aka, Gssixgun)? It's got Glen's signature all over it. Congrats on a marvelous addition to what's sure to become (in the near future, if not already) a beautiful collection

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your welcome, it is the first of many posts here no doubt
This razor is in fact Eric's (HNSB on the forums) work, and even though it's a little small it just really appealed to me - I'm sure you understand
Kind regards
P

Thank you Henry! I snaged it in a trade The guy I traded with had bought it NOS directly from Thiers at a fair last year.

Thans Robert! That´s exactly what I did too, but I still had to be very light on the hand.

Well done Paddy and a warm welcome to the SOTD bros on SRP !!

Pre: Strong black coffee and a hot shower
Brush: Simple badger
SC: D.R. Harris “Arlington”
Hardware: Muhle R89
Blade: Feather
Post: Truefitt & Hill 1805 Aftershave balm

Notes: My first test run with a feather blade and ... man that blade is sharp. Combined with the Harris soap there was no friction at all just smoooooooooth pure whisker elimination.

Gentlemen: Have a nice saturday

Regards
Johan

Gillette Ball End Tech/Super Max Stainless/Uber Lather MWF with Florena/ Bestshave Horsehair #8/ Master's Bay Rum

Today I revisited where I started, with my Humble Tech. And the shave, my brothers, was good, I need to place it back into the rotation. With so many razors in the collection it has been easy to overlook this very basic well made shaving machine.

Robert,those are beautiful scales. I'm drooling. I have a couple of razors that I bought from Robert Doyle, originally from the Henry T. Lummus collection that would honor scales of that beauty. I think a Maxterpiece or two may be in my future. As always your photo's are phenomenal.

Good evening Gentlemen!

We had a nice saturday here, even had a bit of the old sun today.

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar # 81052
Soap: Van der Hagen / Speick shave cream / glycerine
Razor: Klas Törnblom 9/16 french point in ivory scales
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Witch hazel with rose, sandalwood and vetiver
Notes: The uberlather and my barber's hone saved my shave tonight. I love this little thing, but it needs to see Mr Sharp before next dance. I have been so influenced by the constand praise of rose scents here lately, and with the rose in today's picture I decided there could not be a better opportunity to to dig out my witch hazel rose vetiver blend. It sure smells great. Needed 3 passes, but achieved a fine BBS with no irritation.



Hope I did not go too wild with the editing today
Enjoy your weekend guys!

Oh by the way - I was able to retrieve no less than 4 lost family heirlooms today - a thiers-issard, a le grelot gold medaille, a 7/8 swede and a french blade. Funny thing, I didn't even know we were family till I told them

David,
it's always great going to the root of where and when it started. Well done.
