This is one of my wedgiest razors. Not quite a full wedge, but awfully close. It's an absolute pain to hone, but once it's dialed in, it's like a silent whisker assassin.
Have a great week, everyone!
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Monday morning:
Valobra Shaving Stick
men-ü synthetic brush
R. Texcier, Paris 6/8 Acier Suedois
Floid Suave
This razor is really good! The blade have a very long lasting sharpness and the steel is very hard. The black horn scales are a tactile delight. I think it's about 80 years old. A simple but beautiful razor.
Have a nice day!Last edited by lotse; 06-03-2013 at 05:03 AM.

Starting the week off in style:

Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik
Razor: Joseph Rodgers 'Real Olde English Razor' 6/8" near wedge
Brush: Simpson's Chubby 1 Best Badger
Cream: St James Cedarwood & Clarysage
Astringent: Osma Alum
Aftershave: St James Cedarwood & Clarysage
Notes: Pretty effortless and reasonably close. I liked the shave but used too much pressure to try and achieve a smoother result. Quite forgiving though as wedges tend to be.

All day and half the night cram session yesterday, not even time for a shave. Naturally the day after a skip is the best shave ever. I feel like a human being again. As ready as I'm likely to get to start a new week. Have a great Monday.The older I get, the better I was
