Shaved with 1907 Single Ring

Today was my first day of shaving with this razor. It was also my first day using a Mama Bear's soap, Lilac Ice. I have to say that it was amazing.

There is something about using a piece of hardware that is 103 years old. Who bought it originally, how much did they pay, did they like it, how long did they own it, was it a gift, who else owned it over the years or did it just sit in a drawer until someone decided to sell it...

All these questions that will have to remain a mystery.
