I haven't shaved since Monday night, so for me it was a choice between the Wade & Butcher and the John Hassall, my two favorites for dealing with heavy growth.
I went with the later, seeing it seems to get out less than the W&B.
A great choice, It sliced through those whiskers like a one day growth. I went all the way for a 3 pass BBS.
A fantastic way to start the SOTD week
Last night I took the first step towards becoming a bladesmith. Fired up my home made forge and got my first experience working with hot steel.
There are a few pics on this thread for anyone interested
Thanks for all the great posts and pics boys. Have a great week.

The Max Otte is such a refined razor, so smooooth and so sharp, She delivered a first class shave on this bright but cold sunday morning.

Hot shower
Warm oil
Dirty Bird Custom Double
Custom Badger Brush
Truefitt and Hill Almond Shave Cream
Brian Brown Custom, 8/8, 1/4 hollow on Bocote
Razorock Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for men
First time shaving with this razor. The custom double is so big the Truefitt and Hill created a small mountain of sweet smelling lather. The razor was just superb so I ended with a favorite, Bay Rum.
The craftsmanship on the razor is just superb.
