Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W Razor: Friedmann & Lauterjung Brush: Simpson Polo 10 - 2 band Soap: GFT - Rose Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel AS: GFT Coral Skin Food EDC: Hollister SoCal Summary: I was cleaning out my razor display stand this morning and I stumbled on this old F&L razor I had completely forgotten about. It had fallen behind some props so I couldn't see it. The razor was still shaving hairs from my forearm so I just stropped it 50x on my SRD Premium II strop. It nicely passed my HHT. Lathered up with some GFT Rose and boy, did I enjoy the whole shave. The razor performed flawless. I've mentioned Friedmann & Lauterjung razors several times as being top notch quality shavers. If you see one in good condition, don't let it slide. As a side note, We are now taking orders for the SRP 2011 group buy - Thäter 2 band 26/55 bulb or fan shape. LINK Wishing everyone a safe happy Labor Day WK.
