    @Geezer,
    Now that is a no kidding lather catcher, wedge blade and all. Amazing gear as always.

    With the assistance of some local folks the edge on the Hart was brought to life again. Superb shave indeed!

    Strop - Jemico
    Prep - Hot water + shave towel
    Pre-Shave - Musgo Real Glyce
    Brush - Vulfix bristle
    Soap - Arko
    Mug - Rogers & Bro
    Razor - 13/16 Bengall hollow "Eye of Horus"
    Post - Thayers + Nivea balm

    This is a custom I just finished for myself. I got the blade as a gift, and I wanted to make something that I liked for it. Larger Bengalls are somewhat rare, but they are amazing shavers! I couldn't be more happy with the shave. The scales are olivewood and the inlay is nickel-silver and turquoise-filled epoxy. I hope everyone has a great week!
