    Default Mappin & Webb Cavalier Razor

    Ebay snag from a while back, thought it had ivory scales but it doesn't. Pretty wedgey grind. Honed it up and took it for a spin around my face. Worked OK, Needs to go back on the stones again I think.




    I sure like my NEW badger brush though. Have to retire my old faithful VDH EL CHEAPO.

    Good looking blade, love the engraving on it. So what badger brush did you get?

    That was the first brush I bought when I started shaving with straights. Small world ain't it. Got to agree they are nice. Enjoy

    Started out and finished with one layer. may have to jack it up a bit and run two.

    It'll get there or it'll go out the door. LOL

    Edge looks shiny Wullie. Did you set up a micro bevel ? If not, bevel may not be quite there.
