Wow! Nice Soap! How did it work out?

Beautifully! The HFR is truly from the Golden Age of shaving soaps. The lather is beyond unctuous -- thick, rich & creamy as only the vintage tallow soaps are. Highly recommended (if you can find it!)!

​

No picture or straight razor today. Not a very enjoyable shave either but I was quite hungover so at least so I'm just happy I didn't cut the face off myself. 2 pass mediocrity for this shave.

Hello Gentlemen!

Preshave: Hot water
Uberlather: SMN/kmf creme/glycerin
Brush: Spanish, do not know name
Razor: Vintage Henckels Friodur.
AfterShave: Musgo Real
Toner: Couperose Acqua Tonica by Helan
Moisturizer: Oil of Olay spf 15
EDT: Chanel Antaeus

I have been staying with the Vintage Henckels until I get my technique more consistent. Two passes with a few touchups. I found stretching the skin, as suggested by "Optometrist", really helps with the closeness, especially since my skin probably will not tolerate either xtg or atg. Number 7. Getting more comfortable with this.
Have a lovely evening everyone!
