Sorry guys, i have not been posting as much lately as i have been using some of my unmentionable collection, However, this month i am running a vintage month, again though there will be some SE unmentionables and unmentionable unmentionables - if you know what i mean.
So,
I decided to use the original wedge today to keep the razor in its full vintage mode.
Apparently today is the anniversary of the Henckels Rapide patent.
I bowl lathered the Signature soap using the wall of badger that is the Silver Birch Brushes, 26mm Cocobolo, plenty of lovely lather for the shave.
I completed my Unmentionable SE 2 pass routine and the blade performed well enough, although i noticed ATG it was tugging a little, i may need to get it on the hones.
The finish is easily a DFS++ and my skin is comfortable and soft, no real indication from the Alum rub finishing with the Proraso post shave and splash.
All in All very happy with that shave.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLOW SHAVERS OF TOST3
Stay safe and enjoy your day everyone.
