I don't have photos, but I stopped in the store when I was at the Palmer House in Chicago. Bought some Haslinger and Fine products. I really like the idea of brick and mortar shaving shops.

Razor : Razorock Wunderbar slant, MFG 2017> upper mid range, I use a steep angle (ridding the bar) for this razor because of the large curved head design. Sort handle works well with razor and other aggressive razors I have concluded. Excellent shave today.
Blade : Personna red (2) sharp & smooth with great blade longevity.
Soap : Gillette Pure cream, nice pleasant mid range scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi Sagrada Familia 22mm 2 band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow soft tips, nice scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my RR Wunderbar slant with a Personna red blade.

Have some great shaves!

SV Opuntia - Shaving Soap.
Vintage (Georg Hiltner) Thermos Limited Silver No. 24 - Silvertip Shaving Brush.
Vintage Hugo Büchner Mond Extra Silver (No Rotbart) - Safety Razor.
Vintage Halston Limited Sterling - After Shave.
Vintage Halston Limited Sterling - EdC.

-
The Halston Limited.
A brutally brilliant fragrance from the mid-1980s.
Incredibly complex yet finely tuned. A fragrance journey that has it all.

There is hardly anything that contains such a symphony of several fragrance components. A classic "can opener" then and still today.

I now know very little that comes close to this fragrance, so I chose the Opuntia shaving soap, which has a basic similarity but is still far removed from the tone of the throat.

The old Büchner Mond Extra, silver-plated, is a bit reminiscent of the old Gillette pocket editions. Quite similar when it comes to shaving.

The old Thermos shaving brush, which weighs a whopping 365 grams, has an ultra-great trimmings. Real silver tip, tightly bound and probably from 1995 in a limited edition, silver-plated with engraving. Everything very, very high quality.

The Georg Hiltner shaving brush factory was founded in Nuremberg in 1895. Very little information can be found online, so the brush including the engraving and the number 24 were probably made in 1995 for employees or for special customers.
