Wednesday's Shave

Preshave - African Black Soap
Soap - PAA Gondolier
Brush - That Darn Rob 26mm Synbad
Razor - Finnigan Manchester Straight
Splash - Skin Bracer
Balm - Bart's Bergamot and Vanilla
EDT - CK Obsession Vintage

I have a particular affection for this razor as it was a rusty old blade with a chip from it and I restored it, reset the geometry , and honed it. It is much narrower that it would have been when made, but with the angle corrected it now shaves beautifully.

I set the new brush a couple of mm lower and it is nearly there , but it could go just a tad lower.

How do you like the razor Marco ? Can you compare it to some other razor in aggresivity and comfort department ? Like Rockwell or Karve or Tatara... :wink:

Vacation's over and I'm back to work.
I've seen a few windows in the SOTD's, but nothing is like the original, know that!

After hot nights and cool nights today I saw a bright sun, preparatory to another hot day, so I chose a summer soap.
A nice foam with the brush with a big knot and a more than acceptable shave with a blade that doesn't excite me.

Fulfilling smoothness...
