I hope you had a good shave. Can't wait until I get to use that Diamondine.

That's a very well preserved Johan Engström. I guess that I'd better start looking for one of its sisters.

I've been contemplating getting one of these myself.

Not even the nose?

Friodur Inox 7/8 half hollow, stropped up to a frightening sharpness. The whiskers pop off just looking at it.

That's a lovely strop.

Congratulations those aren't easy to come by.

Thanks gents!

About as good as it gets, those scales are gorgeous too!

I started this morning's shave with a ZY, but it tugged too much, so I finished the shave with a Tilquin 6/8 hollow (Tilquin was made by LeGrelot for the Belgian market).

This is a link to a pic of the razor. One click will display it for you to see. It is not a similar razor to mine; it IS mine. I traded for it from this chap.

Nice looking razor. My favorite razors are what I think of as “working man’s razors” that show their age. Just thinking about who may have shaved with it so long ago while I’m shaving.

Earlobes are but a distant memory.
