Me... time travel?... my tools did!
Razor: WARRANTED/CAST STEEL ~1816
Strop: Hand made and old
Soap: Cella
Mug: Milk glass/silverplate with P on it
Brush: Horsehair
Aftershock: none
Splash: Lucky Tiger
Seems that a couple centuries do give the steel a chance to resign itself to its fate. That blade will shave with the best! The Cella was ok but not a favorite. The Lucky Tiger was known and selling to the trade in 1921. The blown glass bottle is wobbly on its base and seems to be a lot older. The brush, any time after 1890.

The razor was one of my first finds from the wild and I made new acrylic scales for her from the old scales as a pattern.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Prep: Washing the face
Brush: SOC two band
Razor: Mappin and Webb, My trustworthy
Soap: Fitjar, Neroli
AS: TOBS Victorian Lime + Tiger face tonic
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean :D
Face lathered with the Fitjar cream (seems the best way with Castle Forbes and I think they feel like close relatives in both quality and texture) and it was nice and with some more practice I'll prob get it real good. Razor performed stunning!

When I first smelled it, Pen's Blenheim Bouquet was my initial description, but in a milder form. I have since bought Terre D'Hermes EdT and the scent is almost identical to this. Harris describes it as starting with citrus overtones, maturing in to a leathery scent with notes of black pepper and vetiver. However you describe it, it definitely wins in my book.Quote:
