MONDAY
Hot shower prep
Razor: Unknown German maker ~1900
Soap: C.O.Bigelow
Mug: Ceramic
Brush: 18mm generic mixed badger
Splash: Pinaud "CLUBMAN"
This razor is to become a wall hanger! It was warped along the edge and took a lot of work to get to a straight edge..At that, it doesn't want to hone to fine edge. Ok shave but not to be repeated! The rest of the applicants did well for me!

I have one like that. It was a somewhat pretty, but sterile-looking (no etch, or tang stamp other than "Germany") bone handled square point. It looked really nice and polished up very well...but the small warp in the blade makes for a viscous spike tip.
I have an unused wall hanging display case I may pull out and put to use...Good idea;)
It is not cold here and my hot water heater is natural gas. Worst case, I use a DE and heat the water on the stove.
I am about 60 miles from you, if your house blows down you're welcome here. I have enough razors, shave cream, strops and hones to last at least a week!!
