Loving the photos this week

Unknown German Full Hollow
Pecksniff's Oriental something Soap
Kent H8

Quick two pass shave, no after shave just some cold water.

Still a little rough patch underneath the jaw but a nice easy going shave and the first razor I've taken from ebay dull, with chips and a rather uneven bevel, to shaving sharp with a more even bevel. Nowhere near as smooth or sharp as a de blade, or a blade from a honemeister, but it's nice shaving with an edge I've done/reclaimed myself.
 
Thursday

Merkur 34c
Personna red
No Name Badger
Arko Stick
Witch hazel
Old Spice fresh Lime AS

Reminded me why I ditched the Red Personnas in the first place. It cut well enough and probably closer then the Sharks ive been using recently however my neck had been left with a few nicks and some redness.

The above setup (minus the personnas) has led me to many great shaves recently. The personna was the only different factor. Obviously they aren't for me. Got a better shave from a merkur blade to be honest.
