Cold water shave

Prep ~ Luke warm shower with Valbora Gilcerlanolina soap
Razor ~ Holley. M'F'G. Co Lakeville, Patent Hollow Ground 6/8ths
Soap ~ OSP ~ Orange & Patcholi
Brush ~ Omega 011829 Boar
Post ~ Vitos Tobacco Aftershave splash
Scent ~ Penhaligons ~ Varra Edp

After some work on pasted strops I've got this razor back to as sharp as it needs to be to produce a fine shave and that's exactly what it did, it says hollow ground on the blade but to be honest it's not far off a near wedge and quite a heavy razor and shaves perfectly,
The OSP Orange & Patcholi was as slick and wonderfully fragrant and was whipped into the perfect lather with one of the best boar brushes I have to date.
All in all this was a very enjoyable shave, a great way to start the day.
I finnished off with a couple of sprays of Varra by Penhaligon's, just perfect!

Wishing you all a good day....P.
