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

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. Originally Posted by Geezer

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. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

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!! Originally Posted by Tarkus

Well, I was without hot water for a few months when I was a young student in Norway. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

This was during the winter.
I'll never go back to cold showers and shaves. At least not while I'm living in Norway.
