Glad to be back and posting. I was using an old Gillette Travel DE with a Mekur Blade while on duty.
The blade does not seem to suit this razor as the shaves were ok but not great. It might be the razor (or me). I will have to see over time with different blades and keep trying. It's a cute lil thing though.

Unknown Quarter Hollow "Warranted Fine Steel" Dressed in Zebrawood-MDC/Acca Kappa 1869-Amen Cologne
Great shave today as I honed this prior to leaving for the weekend. At first I thought I needed to do more work on the hone. I thought it was sliding over the whiskers. LOL Nope!! BBS. I wish I knew more about this blade as it is a mystery to me. Any ideas my SOTD brethren???? The MDC and AK is becoming a fave scent of mine. Very earthy and the cologne blends well to it.
Glad to be home and fantastic shaves all.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: Simpson Chubby 1 Razor: Filarmonica DT 12 5/8 Honing Regimen: Naniwa 1K-3K-Shapton 8K-Naniwa 10K-Shapton 30K-0.25µ mono diamond-CBN 0.125µ/balsa. Strop: 30/60Neil Miller Linen/Legion Kangaroo Soap: Ralph Lauren Safari Astrigent: Alum Block After shave: D.R. Harris Sandalwood Results: Got this back from honing today, it's sharp alright, but if it's extremly much sharper than other razors in my rotation I'm not completly convinced. It did give me a very smooth, close and effordlessshave, but also a couple minor nicks.
Need help or tutoring? Check out the .

I finally honed the T. Noonan & Sons "Napoleon" razor I picked up cheap on ebay. I still haven't gotten proficient at the one stone method with the coticule so I did a pyramid on the Norton 4/8k and used the coticule as a finisher. What a great razor! It's heavy blade sliced right through my stubble and even though I had a tough time getting the Pre de Provence to lather well, I still had a fantastic 2 pass shave
The Pre de Provence never built up a very thick lather. I used more than I would of TOBS or CADE but it still seemed pretty thin. I guess it lubricated my face well enough. I'll try it in an uberlather next.

Rune I've had razors honed by Lynn and a few others here on the SRP and yours were every bit as sharp and shave-ready. You do a fantastic job. Save the $ and buy more razors Originally Posted by Zephyr
