6/8 Dovo Fritz Bracht…I rescued it off of eBay. It had some rust on the gold wash, and some spots up top! WELL WORTH the price of admission…they just don’t make them and grind them like they used to! Incredible smooth edge off of the rock below!

Today's shave was with a Filarmonica #13 JMP. Below is the shave picture and a photo of the original rusted razor I received. This is a good example of recycling; something we SR shavers appreciate.

The new scales were by Mike Slater. The refurb cleanup was by Karl Johnson, along with his Suehiro 20k edge. I never thought this one would be a beauty queen, but it turned out quite nice. The shave was smooth and close, putting this one on the level of a daily driver. Soap was Catie's Bubbles Irish Coffee and the brush was High Mountain Badger set in Imperial Jade by Elite Razor. This was a nice shave finished off with a splash of Lucky Tiger.

Ummmm…this soap was shockingly good! I immediately purchased two more! Total cool whip consistency, and ultra protective!

The no name Kita edge with this soap, and it felt like I could do no wrong during the shave.

Today's shave:

5/8 Aust Ralf with French Point
SV Cubebe Soap & AS
Simpsons Chubby 1

This is my first new SR, which I have used for about 2 weeks on the original edge, stropping on leather/canvas only. I'm really enjoying the SR experience. I'm having no issues emulating the same types of passes as my DE. A mix of WTG, XTG and ATG as required to get a close shave. No cuts or problems

As so many other Swedes I'm having a long summer vacation and since Corona has closed most alternatives I'm mostly spending it to take care of my garden and house, quite exhausting in this heat actually which have been the cause as to why the ladder fell down with me ontop the other day. Luckily nothing serious just some bruising and a few stitches. I'll be back finishing the paint job before it's time to go back to work.

I no longer care about rotation but just pick the razor I fancy and go for it. I fancy my TI 5/8 razors quite a lot especially this one.

Now I finally realize that in the evolution of perfect SRs, the tails get longer.

Do I need to worry about poking an eye out going N-S on my cheeks?

oh there are endless tails

Nice, is that a tanifuji?

 

[thombrogan]

@Polarbeard - please heal quick. Also, dyn-o-mite razor!

 

[Darth Scandalous]

Finally got the edge dialed in on this little Barber's Pet.

No, the scales aren't stock.

The hotel bathroom has a very constrained space at the sink. There were more body contortions than facial contortions in this mornings shave.

According to Fakira, Command razors are Tanifuji's.
However, IMHO unless there is a Tanifuji stamp on
the razor, it is not a Tanifuji. Doesn't really matter,
though, it is a top quality Yama-Ai razor.
