Good morning Gentlemen!
Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Frank Shaving finest badger
Soap: MItchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: 5/8 hollow ground, round point, unknown maker
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Home made lavender-spice splash, with black pepper, nutmeg and cloves to balance the florals.
Notes: Today's shave set a new standard for me. The razor is a mystery, it has some markings but they are too vague for me to deciphre. It is nonetheless in my rotation and I am quite happy with it. I touched it up on my new mystery hone, (the gents in the know are leaning towards it being a schwedenstein, completely unknown to me, see link to ID thread here), followed by a careful stropping, and it gave the smoothest shave I've had, with zero irritation. The suds were heavenly and the splash left me engulfed in bliss.
May all your shaves be brilliant!

Razor – Russian “Stalingrad”
Brush – Semouge boar
Soap – Valobra
AST - ALUM
AS – Lectric Shave sensitive skin- Williams
Good morning
Broke out one of my Russian razors. A great shaver PITA to hone. I sometimes use the Lectric shave as a pre shave and an after shave. It will kill the lather of some soap. I have actually gotten compliments on the scent. That figures. Have a great week all.
