I bought this Osger razor used from a Japanese citizen, but I don't have any information about it: manufacturer, year... Can someone give me information?

Razor: Yates Precision Stainless Winning
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (1st use)
Brush: Omega 10810
Soap: Stirling Sheep
Aftershave: Wavol Bay Rum

OK shave, the Astra doesn’t seem to be as smooth or get as close as the BIC. The bay rum was nice, lovely scent and a bit of menthol, a very simple aftershave (just water, alcohol, bay oil and menthol). The bay oil acts as a moisturiser in itself, so leaves a lovely skin feel.

My top favorite soap & splash set...the sweet aromatic pipe scent is just marvelous!
Enjoyed a beautiful shave with this audible razor. Initially, I did not like this hollow ground edge but now loving it...I guess back then I was still inexperienced...

Another new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.

The lathering performance from the Abysso shaving soap is superb providing a great slick protective wonderfully scented lather in a short space of time.

Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.😎

Pre-shave: cold water splash / YBN Glycerin
Razor: DSC V92 brass, parallel cap
Blade: Suneko Amorphous Diamond (1)
Brush: Arno 26mm Classic #12, Gen5 synthetic
Bowl: DSC scuttle
Soap: House of Mammoth - Indigo / TOBS Cedarwood (samples)
A/S: TOBS - Royal Forest (sample)
Aftercare: Thayers Witch Hazel Unscented / Aloe Vera Gel
EdP: Byredo - Super Cedar

An unplanned shave today, but I have some new soaps coming which I want to try out on Monday and the Suneko blade gave me some (perceived, imagined) irritation the last few times I used it. I wanted to make sure that if there would be any irritation on Monday, that I could pinpoint it to the soap, rather than having to guess whether either blade or soap would be the culprit. As it turns out, the irritation from a few weeks back was due to over exfoliation and soap burn. So, I'm confident I will be able to use this blade for Monday's soap test.

The shave itself wasn't spectacular today; it was rushed with no touchups, but a good CCS nevertheless. I didn't have the plate properly screwed down at the beginning, now I know what real blade chatter is. Adjusted that mid-shave and then it was very smooth sailing from there.

Superlather was the recipe for today and my scuttle keeps on overflowing with way too much thick, airy and slick lather than I could possibly use for one shave. It seems wasteful, but I only have so much whiskers to cut.

Completion was achieved with TOBS Royal Forest Aftershave and Byredo's Super Cedar; a good match with TOBS Cedarwood shaving cream.

Have a great weekend everybody!

It was another great shave with the more aggressive Henson and Wizamet blade. At one time I had this on the BST but it didn’t sell and I'm glad it didn’t. This has become on of my favorite razors. For me, it requires a steep angle and an extra light touch. The shave was smooth and close. Today’s brush is the first B&B LE (2011) brush by Rudy Vey that I bought. The brush made a nice lather with the Haslinger soap. This was the 13th day I used the soap. The shave was perfect. Have a wonderful day, folks.
