Nice shave!!

Had a 6:30 A. M. appointment with the eye doctor this morning. Not a lot of time to shave. Couldn't wear any fragrance either, so I resorted to what I call a bare bones shave. Believe me, it was nothing to write home about. My shaving routine will return to normal tomorrow.

This razor looks a little rough, but it is one great shaver. 2 passes is all that is required. I still haven't figured out the TOBS. I keep thinking I'm using too much and wasting it, it makes so much lather. On the face, in the bowl, it doesn't matter, it just keeps going. (I think I'm finding a favorite..).

Everything about this shave just felt 'old', so my pic tries to leave the same feeling.




Happy Shaving!!

Mike

It had been 3 or 4 days since I shaved last and it was wonderfull. I enjoy being clean shaven (with the exception of my handlebar) but on the same token I also thoroughly enjoy the change from scruffy to silky smooth.

I'm afraid not. It would also be hard to be certain with no maker's mark. Personally, I'd guess it's an english make. The regency stamp was introduced in the 1820s, so the lack of one does not conclude. Also, I have a feeling german razors were later in the market than sheffield. Perhaps someone will correct me on this, but I have not seen many wedges from germany.

soap: Calani
brush: Muehle
razor: Dewsnap

Have a nice day!
