1890's Theme Shave this morning.

Razor: Slack & Grinold - Bath Works Sheffield Circa 1892
Soap/Mug: Mitchell's Wool Fat - 1893 Formula
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
ASB: Dickinson's Witch Hazel - circa Cambrian era
Aftershave: Lustray (Pinaud/Clubman) Coachman - circa 1890's

Awesome shave this morning! :thumbup: First shave with the S & G was outstanding! Thanks Chris! (Alabamalawyer) The professionally honed edge on this beautiful razor was so smooth I didn't know I was shaving. Quite a difference from MY HONING that got a "shavable" edge but left a lot to be desired. It's good to discover that it wasn't so much my shaving techniques that sucked but my honing skills that are deficient. Looks like I will be sending my "Antique Store finds" out to get a professional edge put on them for sure! :wink2:
Great pic Bruce! So, I've heard the Coachman is a dead ringer scent-wise for Clubman.. Is this true?

Thanks Mark! They are very very close. The Clubman has a little sharper edge to it. The Coachman is a little mellower, a little more earthy IMO. My DW hates the Clubman but she doesn't mind the Coachman. Go figure. (?) :confused1
