After seeing this poor thing Antique straight razor, A Real Tally Ho over on the ebay 101 thread, I just had to get my Tally-Ho honed up and offer up a shave in memory of what once would have been a great razor.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Pre: Hot Shower - Nivea Face Wash, Nivea Face Scrub
Soap: Arko
Strop: Dovo Russian & Tony Miller Old No. 2
Razor: W. G. Wilton 8/8 Wedge (Max Sprecher Rescale)
Astringent: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Post: Nivea Post Shave Balm
Cologne: Armani Code Ultimate
The Wilton mowed down three days growth with very little effort. I tried something a little different today, I used the Nivea Face Scrub as a pre-shave, leaving it on until my initial lather. I purchased the Wilton from someone on another forum that "didn't like the large wedge." It's at least a 8/8, if not a touch bigger. It was priced right and I jumped all over it. I then sent it to Max for a set of "old school" micarta scales and it's now one of my favorites. It's so heavy that my arms get tired by the third pass. I just love everyone's SOTD/photos. I hope everyone has a safe and productive week.

Nothing else just a practical nice shave for a day of stay at home and work on remodelling. Shaved at dawn, though and it was a nice feeling.

for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable,
