I saw one of these in an antique shop today where I got my 'shaving stand' stuff; 30 bucks, a bit of pitting but a good edge, horn scales too... Originally Posted by Mikael

Not sure Carl. But this is one of my favorites, holds a great edge. It was a little rough when it came to me, I gave it some love, but it still has some pitting. Doesn't affect the sweet shave though. Originally Posted by carlmaloschneider

Thanked: 146 Lazy Saturday
Prep: Slow warm shower/ Proraso pre-post creme
Brush: AOS Badger
Scuttle: G5
Soap: Muhle Sea Buckthorn
Razor: #14 Henckels in ivory scales
Post: Clubman AS/ CADE AS Balm
Finish: Vintage Lagerfeld
Result: I think this may have been my best shave ever! The Henckels performed flawlessly and the sea buckthorn soap produced mounds of rich creamy lather! I had used this soap quite a few times and was ready to give up on it, but finally figured it out. I normally don't post on the weekends, but this was truly exceptional!

Pre shave - Arko
Razor - Filarmonic SubCero #12
Strop - 3" Snake, Shell Cordovan & Genuine Linen Hanging Razor Strop
Brush - New Forest Tubby 1 Finest Silvertip
Soap - Mike's Unscented
A/S - Boots Witch Hazel gel followed by Tabac A/S lotion
OK, new soap...... just couldn't get the lather right!! Should have used the 'Duke', that is my goto brush for MWF/KENT. Had to salvage the shave by finishing off with the Merk + Astra... but the end result was still BBS with no irritation.... surprisingly, it turned out to be a fantastic shave.
Need more time with Mike's soap, which left my skin feeling great...can't wait to get it right!!
