Still no shave, just new pictures:
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.

SOTD September 23rd, 2012
No Prep
Razor: BRAHMA Solingen
Soap: P-160
Mug: 1890's Staffordshire scuttle
Brush: Semogue boar
Aftershock: Alum block
Splash: Dollar Store special very similar to English Leather.
A quick and painless shave using the scuttle. The blade was sharp and the lather was sufficient to get the whiskers gone.
A nice well used old travel blade that may have been made by Dorko. I have seen similar blade patterns and slip cases from them. It does hold a great edge and seems to be a full 6\8ths.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

May your week bring great shaves and personal successes!
