My favorite open comb called to me this morning. Gotta be one of the mildest OC types, and certainly one of the nicest looking US made razors. Very smart using this today.
Received this in the mail last week. Honed and Stropped minimal work needed. (Always a surprise when these 10$ razors work out!).
Any one know the maker??? The only mark is a logo that looks like a square inkwell and a quill pen.[attachment=10113][attachment=10114]????

Normally the 25c is my second razor, which I use only occasionally. But I'm going to be using it more regularly. A nice smooth and close shave.
Nice, quick shave this morning. Second attempt with the Gillette Shaving Cream and had a much better experience than first time round - it definitely appreciates a touch of water. A few drips extra an it exploded (not literally, or else I wouldn't be typing this).

I love this razor now. I got it when I first started DE shaving and having had a crap shave, it was laid to rest in a drawer. A couple of years on I decided to have a shave with it and with improved technique and better blade choice it was shaving heaven. Effortless BBS regardless of how much or little growth I have.

My birthday shave! I pulled out all the good stuff today. My O-2 birth-qtr razor and my "birthday" brush with a vintage blade. I really love this razor/blade combo. Effortless 3-pass BBS. The P.160 soap is really nice. I could get used to this.
