Robeson Sure-Edge "New Science Concave" | Rover | DC 1913 | Lucido | Imaginary Authors - The Soft Lawn
And if you've never had the DC 1913, this is why it's considered so good. After three passes, and over 25 minutes of sitting, I had this left from face lathering a single light swirl in the cream:
He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

Wednesday
Proraso pre/ Thater/ G5/ MWF/ GPG 'Otello' wedge/ Proraso AS/ Nivea
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...Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Soap: L'Occitane Cade
Brush: Frank's Shaving Fine Badger
Razor: Geo Wostenholm 11/16
Astringent: Thayer's
A/S: Proraso
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.
Thanks for the great posts and pics fellas
