Mannos 14, barberpole scales.
To highlight knife prepared by fellow forums Pablo (Airforce) The scales are, without a doubt, the best in my collection of knives.
Great job to design them (three types of sheets of three colors, combining their front position with their rear view), trim and paste (sizes and surfaces completely adjusted between connected sheets to achieve the union or glued together securely and durable) and polished (angles, edges and edges perfectly straight and with their corresponding angles) and luxury details (Swiss watch screws, stainless steel with gold plating and the author's logo printed by it with laser).
The scales pick up an iron Mannos, of the good Solingen 14 that were made in the middle of the last century. On this occasion, polished impeccable mirror made by Pablo himself.
An eternal treasure of which I am fortunate to permanently admire.

Okay,
After much deliberation, trying a couple of cheap razors, then reading lots of posts and getting a lot of advice, I finally bought a good razor.
I opted for a vintage Maples and Co., Bee-Hive Razor made from "fine Surgical Steel". My first shave went well. No cuts and it actually shaves rather then hack and tear. I have a lot to learn about using it and I'm nowhere near getting a BBS shave but now I feel that it is possible.

Great choice. I have a Bee-Hive that will never leave my rotation.
Seem to be in a rut. This W&B Special keeps jumping its place in the rotation.
Yasuhira Hinode 6/8, 1/4 grind. Heavy razor that plies through the whiskers. The soap was B&M Nocturne sample that a friend graciously provided. The post shave feel is lacking a bit. Not sure if it is just me or...
Brush was Omega 48. Monster lather builder.

Had a fantastic shave with this Vintage Solingen blade. With the extra weight due to the blade size this razor just wiped away two days of growth with almost no effort.
