Thank you Dave....Best I can tell it was made in the mid 1800's Silver.

prep: Gentlemen's Refinery Pre-Shave oil + hot water

'58 Fatboy w/ US Personna
Vulfix Pure Badger
Superlather = Williams soap + TOBS Avocado cream

Witch Hazel
Skin Bracer after shave followed by some Gentlemen's Refinery unscented ASB

what a great shave! I really like the superlather recipe. So clean! Think I'm gonna make superlather every time until the williams is gone, as I can't see using it much on its own.

Gillette NEW (English)
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
SCS Bayrum with a Twist Shaving Stick
Kent BLK4

Preshave: Proraso
Brush: Omega Elegant
Cream: Tom's Calendula
Razor: 1964 J3 Gillette slim
Blade: Crystal (day 3)
After: Thayer's rose petal witch hazel

Once again, I used Ron's four-pass technique, which I'm beginning to like. Once again, I found the Tom's shaving cream not as slippery as my other non-natural creams. I'm about ready to give up on it.

Two-pass BBS. Neck irritation with A/S - OMG the burn! It's like my face saved up the irritation from the first two days. Didn't change prep or technique. Maybe the cream wsan't as cushioning as the soap from the previous two days?
