Saturday's Proposed Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Start Shaving Cream (CTAPT)
Jayaruh #224
Unmentionable Razor
CWS
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

Gents,

This is the Compax razor from England produced in the 1920's. A rather unique razor.

It's an autostropper, adjustable (3 settings in the back) and telescopic razor.

One of the best pieces of my collection.

I made this brush handle with cabinet grade plywood glued together. I set it with a Whipped Dog 24mm silvertip badger. It is a keeper for me. Like I need another brush.

Hello Gents,

My name is Walid, as in my handle. Nothing to hide here.

I am a vintage razor collector, I have a nice collection and I am going to post some picture of my collection.

These are relatively older pics but they represent about 10%

I will post newer pictures in the following days.

PS: if you know people who like lather catcher or want to trade razors, I am your guy. Let me know.

Cheers

I had a rough night and woke up with a sore throat and coughing. I took a covid home test, and the results were unmistakable. I did have a good shave though. It helped me a little. I am thinking of skipping tomorrow's shave. We shall see. I'd appreciate your prayers for me and my bride. She is doing well now. Hopefully she won't get it from me.

I picked this Kampfe Lather catcher today at a local antique shop. Is this a 1880 model? Is there a way to use a modern gem blade or am I stuck honing that wedge blade ?
   
   
   
   

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #436 2-band Badger
Burham Safety Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman After Shave

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh  #436 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Burham Safety Razor and a Star Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

It has been a while since I have made a brush. I have been thinking about this one for quite a while. Yesterday it was nice, so, I got out there and did some cutting and gluing. Yes, this is an experimental handle. It is made with pieces of plywood glued together. After it was all glued up. I let it sit over night. So, today was a nice day, and I got out there and turned this handle. I stained it and finished with Minwax Polycrylic. I set it with a two-band badger knot that has been sitting here wanting a handle to live in.
