Posting a day early. I have a BUSY day tomorrow and thought I would give everyone a preview of tomorrow morning's shave experience.

My wife gave my this razor for Valentine's Day. I can't wait to use it. She know's how much I love historic/vintage razors. I usually a "Max Sprecher" guy when it comes to vintage/restores, but she knew I would love this 240+ year old razor. It still has the original scales. I'll let y'all know how it shaves. Have a great weekend!

I find the shape of the old razors (with no heel and a great sweep towards the toe) interesting. I thought it demonstrates a little the style of shaving back then, being I thought those big 'chops' etc and a lot of facial hair. However, on Googling "mens facial hair 1700s" I found the 1700s were for a good part cleanly shaven ones.

I can imagine this shaped razor being used with really only the first two thirds of the blade length; not the heel. Must get one one day to check it out...

I love the quote in the beginning of this page. I believe I'd like a great shout of admiration as well if I'd have been the 'one' of the people to 'undeceive them'...

[EDIT] the looks on those guys' faces is classic I think; so funny. I love the guy in the middle (Payne) and the one above him; they're hilarious, jolly funny!...

This morning, I did not shave at all! That has not happened in a looooong time. I just did not feel like shaving. Maybe I should start to worry ...

Good morning y'all, and happy Friday! I felt like giving myself a 3 pass shave to last thru the weekend, so I went with my 3 pass setup, result - uber BBS.

Soap - AdiP
Brush - RV7 in box elder , D01 knot
Razor - UFO Goliath XXL handle, Gillette Tech head, Merkur blade
