A very bright and cold day here, The snow has departed till another soon to be reached date and cheerfulness is in the air!
The lather was a bit thick so i had to keep adding water to it. The razor was one of my first rescales and still a great shaver. The shave? Good in two and a touch-up.

Magnificent photo! I especially like the contrast between the (more or less) monochromatic elements of blade and brush, and the muted colors of the blade-handle's wrapping and the soap tub. Also, the restricted depth-of-field provides an additional (and appealing) contrast between them. Bravo!
NB: I hope the shave was every bit as good as the photo!
