Oh, I almost forgot the really cool thing about it: According to the label on the back it is made in Eskilstuna

Akatombow | MdC | Thäter | Lucido | Rancé Le Vainqueur
What a wonderful shave! I had not used the MdC lately, and this shave made me question that decision. The lather was absolutely wonderful with the clean, refreshing scent that it carries, I was soon in a zen place for the duration of the shave. The Akatombow is truly a wonderful razor and the elk bone scales she sits in have some beautiful figuring. It is truly a joy to shave with. After two passes, plus clean up, I'm ready to head to court feeling fresh, smooth, and unstoppable!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.

Razor: Gillette Fat Boy, 1959
Blade: Derby
Prep: Warm oil (home made)
Brush: Custom by Nelson
Soap: MWF
A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel
Result: Nice, comfortable shave
Nelson gave me this brush at the meet-up. I keep using it because the badger knot keeps blooming and holding more and more water and lather. Nice and soft, an outstanding brush. Thanks again Nelson.
The MWF does not perform for me. Although it seems like there is a bunch on lather on the brush, the lather goes on my face kinda thin. it is not watery just not as luxurious a lather as some of the others I use. I guess there are some nuances to get it to lather better. I'll just keep working on it.
Long weekend starts today. Visit to the museums today and then to a visit to DC to see Bill and Hiroko.
Enjoy your weekend.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
