And what is the view???
 
A Futura, no? Looks like something Klaatu from "The Day The Earth Stood Still" would shave with.

Haha, Keanu/Klaatu or the original version?

It’s a Hone Type 15. Got it from a fellow B&Ber. Love the look and feel so much that I ordered the aluminum version that was delivered today. Almost the same design but the aluminum razor is less than half the weight of the brass with slightly longer handle. Will probably pick one.

Razor: Merkur 37c.

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade menthol crystals +Eucalyptus peppermint,+ Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./4711 ~ Original Eau De Cologne ASL.

The Real Shaving Co.~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.


Greetings,


Another relaxing Uberlather sunday shave.

The GSB/37c duo, matched together excellently,mowing through my stubble with ease.

The scottish fine shaving soap mixed with the williams mug shaving soap makes a superb frankensoap after a 5 minute bloom in hot water it created a slick protective lather for full shave, adding water to the tips of the brush inbetween each pass.The addition of the added glycerin drops to the frankensoap makes a noticeable difference to the lather.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shaving Co.~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine ;)...I only wish the 4711 cologne/asl had a longer lasting scent.

Enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.:cool:
