Keeping it simple with face lathering. After a month the 1350 still sheds the odd hair but really works well. A single loading and it gave me enough for a 3 pass shave with touch ups. The Macca root yielded a super lather, slick and creamy. I really think it is a much overlooked soap. Love the heft of the W&B even though it is only a 5/8. It still is doing better than I thought it ever would supplying a satisfyingly smooth and close shave. Hope you enjoy your shave today as much as I did mine.

A glorious morning; an effulgent sun; the the land around,
brilliant in its rays.

Another worthwhile save from a bad ‘bay photo fer cheap! The little razor that could...and did. What a delightful shave! One and a touch up, since I am not going to church! A very maneuverable razor and the edge was all but perfect. Stropping only from here onward.


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

Good morning gentlemen,
Possibly most satisfying shave ever for me... I restored this razor last week' really just cleaned up, sanded, and honed (Naniwa SS 1000/3000/8000 then Wakasa Jnat then Dovo black pasted strop) - and it is the most comfortable shaver I now own. Alum went on without any stinging whatsoever and a good close shave.

Brush: Vulfix super-badger
Razor: Thiers-Issar Medaile Argent 69 frameback
Astringent: Osma Alum block
