German shave theme today, no reason really, just thought I’d use my Rotbart Mond Extra and then found an old brush with a West Germany marking ( so pre October 1990 ) and so Mühle seemed the sensible choice of blade. Soap from Italy though.

The Rotbart is an elegant razor, light and easy to use, it’s relatively short handle is maybe not for everyone but works for me especially on the neck shave. The comb teeth are very slim and prone to breaking off, you don’t see many for sale and often have lost teeth. I’m lucky this one has survived unscathed and in its original box, with only a small crack in the handle and some loss of plating.
Habt einen tollen Tag Jungs!

@shiny - what he said mate. Feliz cumpleanos. - I.

Not to be mean and picky but there's a big difference between anos and años. You probably don't want your ano to be fulfilled! I'll get my coat...

Excellent @Paul L

Think you may have already discovered why I think it is the fastest razor in the west

It’s fine providing your Valet has mastered the Art of loading blades

Another Birthday razor from family this year, On unwrapping i found it was a NOS Hydro-magic and i am over the moon with it, i was really looking forward to giving the razor its maiden run out. My sisters did very well with this one.
A wonderful lather again, it sort of goes without saying now, either face or bowl lathering you cannot really get it wrong with the Signature Soap line up, there will also be a scent for just about everyone.
So - Lathered up, razor in hand and off i went, initially finding my hand position on the long handle gave me some thought, then it just settled. The Blade was feeling a little harsh and i am hoping it settles soon. The WTG pass cleared most of what was there, i completed the ATG pass giving me a DFS finish, i had the lather and was enjoying the shave so i completed a buffing pass, mainly XTG finishing with a very close BBS finish.
A nice post shave routine to complete a very enjoyable bit of sink time.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Happy Birthday, hope that they have other treats in Store

It really wasn't very difficult Mike.
More a case of fear of slicing one of my fat digits, and the aperture being slim and a tad awkward!
