Thank you Yeah, we used to have a chap either here or on ATG who made these at work in his lunch break. He made various handles, but this one was really nice - it's based on a vintage handle from a Swedish razor that I had. The Swing.Great shave and what a cool razor handle ! Never seen/heard of before
I got him to make a smaller one for my older ASR razors which seem to suit a more diminutive handle.
Also, a brass one which lives pretty permanently with a brass 1924 head. I used that one only a few weeks ago: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...th-august-july-2021.54968/page-23#post-844100

Wed 8 SOTD
Soap Stirling Lemon Chill
Brush Zenith 28mm Scrubby B14 Boar
Razor RazoRock G37 Slant
Blade JAWS Platinum 1st
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Reuzel Wood & Spice
The soap scent is a little mild but the lather is great...cooling, creamy and slick...
The shave with the razor paired with this blade was perfection! So easy so smooth and so comfortable in 3passes for a dolphin smooth finish without any issues. This is definitely one of my top-top de blades. Aftershaves were excellent too.

Razor: Micromatic Clog Pruf
Blade: GEM PTFE (9)
Post: Cold Water and A&E Barbiere Sofisticato
Another big thank you to Tony and Stephen, the micro is a cracking little razor. Such a simple razor to use, no fuss just glides and does the job. A&E almost finished, love the smell but I have the attention span of a gnat so I need shot of it!
Smooth and ready for the day!
Hope everyone has a cracking day!
Cheers

Extro Bergamotto di Calabria
Simpson Duke 3 synthetic
Blackland Blackbird
Gillette Silver Blue
Floïd Mentolado Vigoroso
New brush, and a very good shave, but, the synthetic fibres in the Duke 3 knot are rather ‘stiffer’ than l had expected. This could be a factor of the dense packing and/or short loft. Thank god I didn’t buy the Chubby 2 synth! The brush produced a great lather, and the knot is different to all of my other synthetic brushes, so I am happy with it on first use.
