Thanks for a week of great shaves and photos!
SATURDAY...Another beautiful day!

Hot shower prep
Razor: Case "Red Imp"
Soap: NOS puck of Colgate Cup Soap <1970
Mug: Yup I were one about them times
Brush: NOS HESS #2
Aftershock: Styptic Pencil...unneeded
Splash: NOS Mennen "SKIN BRACER"

I can readily understand why some folks find the old Colgate and Williams soaps to be superior. The puck was so old that I had to keep adding water to the lather. The result? Well another great shave in two and a touch up. The old Case was one of those very few I did not need to do any more than clean and hone. They do take a great edge when loved! These things are meant to be used and enjoyed.

I like the ability to enjoy a shave and try to place myself in the life and times of the stuff I am enjoying. My goodies? are a source of history and were acquired cheaply while on safari in the hinterlands of WI and MN. There are still many of the millions of razors manufactured still to be located. I had a Forum mate that went to a shop a week after I had been there and grab a new Escher for about $15. Do not give up!

The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!
