Sad they’re out of business as they had marvelous soaps from all over including their own stuff
Wanted to try different soap today to change up plus i have so many older soaps I need to use, problem is i love my modern amazing favorites

rbscebu

Girls call me Makaluod
Personally, I suspect rbscebu has built all those M7DS of his as a way to stay strong and not sneak extra shaves into the day. I respect a man who can wrestle his shave demon to at least a stand off. :ouch1::straight:
You are almost correct. Each my (now) four M7DS's has an eighth evening razor associated with the set. The evening SR's are only used on special occasions, like when going to the opera, ballet, lodge or I have one of my girlfriends coming to visit me.

These evening SR's also allow me to shave again later in the day when the urge to shave becomes just too great.
 
I just ordered a zippered pouch for seven razors. I needed something, as not all my razors have boxes (coffins). It looks like the same one in Chimensch's video. When it arrives, I will load it up with a rotation of seven of my best razors. They will all be different, of course. Since I detail my beard every Saturday, it will be a seven-week set. That is one up on @rbscebu, as his sets are only seven-day sets!
 
There’s some really nice razors here…This is not one of them lol
But it’s my favorite razor.It was my first.It wasn’t shave ready.It was just a used old rusty razor.It was the first one I cleaned up and honed.It’s ugly but it’s thin grind makes it my favorite shaver..Far surpassing my first shave ready razor.Any one else have an ugly ducking that is their favorite user

If it shaves well for you then it is a nice razor.

I can't touch those gorgeous abalone scales, but I was inspired to pull out the Revisor 8/8, in horn. The eagle flies on Saturday!

Friends over for dinner, that was a first, post-vaccinations. Got to look sharp. This Revisor cuts close. I was shaving quickly with a very light, wet lather (specialty of the dubl duck brush). On the second pass the razor was harvesting enough tiny stubble that the lather collected on the blade looked like dirty water. That is sharp and the result is smooth.

Great shave yesterday, I didn't take a photo as I only had the sample size of soap and after shave but the combo was a nice blended scent, very good shave and great post shave.

Oh and still loving my razor(s) fresh off a touch up on my Ancient Ocean Jasper Barbers hone!

first shave for me with this one
Fili 12 Doble Tempo
Chicago Grooming Co. Shiloh
Semogue 1250

Honed up the recently-acquired Fili yesterday. For various reasons my game was a little off today, and the Fili let me know that it you can’t make mistakes with a blade this light weight and this sharp. Happily the bleeding stopped before the shave was over. :)

For honing I tried to change up a few things. instead of using the more glazed side of my black ark with soapy water, I used the rougher side with 3-in-1 oil. I don’t know if it honed better but it definitely gave more feedback and also was less messy to hold the stone in my hand.
