Today's blade of choice was The Celebrated Wade & Butcher Sheffield. Good performer. If I was a daily straight razor user, it would be one of my small handful of favorites.

Fine L'Orange Noir
Thater boar
Pitralon


Nice shave this morning. I've used Fine soaps before but it's a first for this scent and I really like it.This Thater is a beast. I've had it quite awhile and it just doesn't want to give it up and break in. I should have another boar coming this week so I think I'll stick with them and use 'em like a government mule for a bit.

Today's straight razor is the "King's Hollow Ground". Probably from around 1840 to 1850.
