Some Muehle-stuff and a Thiers Issard
Have a nice weekend!
The following joke a German friend posted at my facebook-site:
Question:

A late afternoon shave in my room, a glass of wine, jazz on the music player, two table lamps, purple velvet curtains, a Swedish razor, a linen and English bridal strop, Madame Scodioli’s ‘Step Right Up’ soap and lotion, a cut.

Brush: Rudy V
Razor: Weltmeister by Otto Busch
Soap: Provence Santé
AS: Blue Floid

Result: Uberclean :D
I think this was the best shave I've had with a small blade. Excellent razor, but you do have to get the angle right when shaving with a razor like this one. Nice blade, the blueing is excellent and the wear close to nothing, but the blade had some pitting and I had to remove some steel to get it clean enough and the lovely "Weltmeister" etching vanished (doesn't stick very well to start with though :( ).
