Holy Moly, now that's what I call a razor. Impeccable condition too.

TUESDAY
Hot shower prep
Razor: NOS 11/16ths Germania “Uncle Sam” (Germany)
Soap: Lavanda (Portugal)
Mug: Soup cup
Brush: Barbershop boar ( Austria)
Aftershock: none needed
Splash: TARR ( Romania)
The razor was as hard to hone as my HESS 44 stainless or the Solingen Stainless. It took about 4 hours to get it close to right. Back to 800 and then up again gently to keep from micro-chipping. I have heard it said that American razors are hard...Cheeze! The Lavanda whipped to a glorious lather and the shave was very smooth. The TARR is always a great wake-up experience!

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

Geramania Cutlery was owned by the Kastor Brothers of New York, an import house that was the owner of many German and other international cutlery companies. The Nazis confiscated the company in 1938.

It's been a long while since I have posted to the SOTD thread. Life has been very busy between the family and the job. Anyway... without further delay, here is today's SOTD for me:

RAZOR: Feather All Stainless Double Edge Razor
BRUSH: Merkur Futur Silvertip Badger
SOAP/CREAM: Acqua Di Parma Colonia Collezione Barbiere Shaving Cream
AFTER SHAVE: Acqua Di Parma Colonia Collezione Barbiere After Shave Lotion
COLOGNE: Acqua Di Parma Colonia Eau De Cologne

I have been using this Feather Stainless for 6 months now and have to say it has earned a permanent home. ...and that is saying a lot because the only other permanent DE I have is my Merkur Futur. I have tried a lot of different current and vintage DE's over the years, but until now I always ended up going back to my Futur and selling the others. Perhaps I will eventually give the Futur or Feather to my son when the day comes (he's 2-1/2, so I have some time to think about it).

Cheers,

Chris

Happy B-day Nic!
