Have a Great Wednesday Gents!
Can't seem to find any info on this razor. It's a GPG with an arrow through the letters and 'Otello' with reg. U.S. pat on the other tang. Funny thing is I bought it's twin and gave it to my brother, so it can't be too uncommon...
Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Soap: L'Occitane Cade
Brush: Frank's Shaving Fine Badger
Razor: Geo Wostenholm 11/16

There was bloodshed on Sunday when I used this razor, but I had more luck tonight.
I took it to the hones last night, giving it 25 on the vintage Coti and 30 on the Thuri. The edge was much better and the 2 pass shave left me clean and smoooth.

Today, the Spaniards and Portuguese make war on whiskers:
Filarmonica Sub Cero 8/8, stropped 20/60
Musgo Real, whipped with badger
Had to default to Clubman, as I don't have any a/s from the peninsula.
Because this Filarmonica is such an incredible shaver, and the Musgo was so rich and silky, I indulged in three full passes this morning. Closest, smoothest shave I've ever had!
Someone with a Mastro Livi want to take us to Italy next?

Only one regrets the razor is made in inox, and the temper is quite hard, it's a pain to hone, and he's a bit agressiv...
