Grah & Plumacher Gotta Superfine 120, 11/16 Full Hollow, Round point

I have many favorite vintage straight razors made in Solingen and Gotta certainly is one of them. Its full hollow ground gives a quite singing and close shave, something I generally like hearing while I shave with a straight razor. I also like this "Aguzzeria del Cavallo" almond shaving soap, an artisan soap made in Bologna, in my opinion one of the very best we have in Italy. Not to mention the glorious Floïd Blue, one of my favorite aftershaves of all times. I wanted to make this shave special by using the exclusive Omega Professional 48 Gold brush, an elegant touch with its golden handle and capable of mounting a lather in very little time.​


  • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
  • Soap: Aguzzeria del Cavallo Almond Soap
  • Brush: Omega Professional 48 Gold
  • Bowl: Old Barber Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
  • Razor: Grah & Plumacher Gotta Superfine 120, 11/16 Full Hollow, Round point
  • Post-Shave: Alum Block
  • Post-Shave: Argan Oil
  • After Shave: Floïd Blue

Enjoy your Wednesday, folks! :001_cool:
 
Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Ever Ready 1924
Blade - GEM Personna SS (#4)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS

A beautiful day, house all to myself and a full weeks growth to mow. No trouble to the 1924, which is now probably my favourite noise! Straight up Arko once again, great result.
 
Lovely photos, everyone! Enjoy your Wednesday! :001_smile
