Great shave this morning!

Saturday
W.H. Morely & Sons Clover Brand
Whippeddog 22mm Silvertip
Proraso
Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel
RR Black Hammer w/Voshkod for touch up

Good shave overall today as far as the actual shaving goes. When I first started I figured I'd give my RR Don Marco another go. I don't know why but I can NOT get a good lather out of this stuff. Warm water, cold water, hard water, soft water, boar, or badger. I've shelved it and came back like 3 times now to no avail. Luckily I had my Proraso sitting there and just washed out my brush and used that instead. That little green tube is magic and never lets me down. I guess at this point I'm ranting but I'm still pretty annoyed.

Still under the yoke of the flu, but stimulated by your beautiful photos, I restarted to shave, and I took the opportunity to increase confidence with this nice Fatip.

Usually, on CV Heljestrand and EA Berg razors like that, it says what kind of steel was used for the razor... but it could be something else too, of course.

No maker's name stamped?!?!? Only the 3 won prizes and "Philadelphia and Importe on the show siode of the tang.
Hard to hone at first, very tough steel. Shiny when i received it.
Thanks!
