It is now five full years I am trying to get one with no luck!

Let me invited you in my garden, only one razor this time an high quality "Hanssen", without birth place...it must be a French one, it comes with a "poli anglais" (english polish), and horn handle, must date from 1850, brush is an omega, soap is Martin de Candre

A very net result, I don't know why but it seems that the wedges give me the better and more durable shaving...

Razor: Genco 5/8 round point
Brush: Semogue silvertip
Soap: eShave
Pre-shave: Edwin Jagger
Scuttle: Moss
Face lather
Alum
Witch hazel

Hmmm, looking for a Bay Rum to replace my Dominica soon, this looks interesting. I like the sweet smell of Dominica but might try something else...
