I put the unidentified Sheffield Wedge up against 5 days worth of beard growth, and its performance was outstanding.
The first pass didn't leave much behind, but I went for the full 3 passes and achieved a beautiful BBS.
A fantastic relaxing Sunday night shave.

Have a great week gentlemen, and thanks for the great posts and pics

Jamie.

An extremely smooth shave from this razor, a 0ne pass shave with minor clean up.

Good morning friends.

Today a small Fili

Yes, Tom, small Filly, but the brush's even smaller.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Barbers vintage handle w New Forest silvertip knot
Razor: J A Hellberg no 14, w 1/4 grind
Super: Nannys Cistrus Zinger + Proraso original
AS: Proraso
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Sweet blade this one, all wedgy razors feels a little different and this one's more like Sheffield wedge than a Swedish ditto. Very nice shave!


... and some:

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Robert Becker extra large
Razor: Wade & Butcher, 5/8 hollow, spike point, in cocobolo scales
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Leather Chypre home made splash
Notes: Wonderful 2-pass BBS, smooth as can be. The splash is new, first time using it and I'm thrilled; oakmoss and labdanum base, with sandalwood and pathouli adding richness, a musky leather coming through, and a bergamot/citrus top. Good fun! Have a brilliant sunday gentlemen.

After working far too many hours, experiencing major computer issues and having my son borrow my dSLR, I am finally back for at least one day.

I was forsed to stay at my parents home for the second night and don't have strop or second razor, that's why I shaved with the same razor. I make only one pass and was surprised how smoth was shave with unstropped W&B

Prep: Proraso Pre & Post Cream - Aloe & Green Tea
Brush: Tweezerman
Cream: Derby Lemon
Razor: Wade&Butcher Sheffield
Post: Proraso Pre & Post Cream - Aloe & Green Tea
Result: nice but not BBS

Razor: 6/8 Frederick Reynolds Diamond Edge Quarter Hollow / Near Wedge (is there a difference?)
Prep: hot water, Barbasol
Brush: vander Hagen boar
Soap: Shea Moisture Shave Butter (and Barbasol)
A/S: Nivea for Mean
Result: A great shave

Despite the wavy bevel (which it had when I got it) I finally got my FR shaving. This was no small feat!

No pics yet, but its great to be back after a long deployment and back with the rest of my shave den! Todays shave:

Edwin Jagger DE89
Gillette Super Thin Blade
MWF
Semogue 2000

After several months without anything but a pack of feathers and my popular, this shave was long awaited. My last weeks in the desert forced me to use canned goo and multi blade razors which was horrible! Next week I will start to break out my straights!!
