After first shave:

Some old razor blades I came across...

Some old razor blades I came across...

Such a great find! The current iteration of that blade is my favorite DE blade. Nice to see an “old school” version of the same.

Lovely brush and blades, gentlemen.

I like to use NOS (old) razor blades, I have Made in England Eversharp and Wilkinson Sword and Scottish PermaSharps great blades all of them.
Great catch on the Personna blades ......

Today I got a Charcoal Goods stainless L1 razor


And slightly used shaving soaps, a tallow Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet and a Trumper's Eucris

My jar of MDC arrived, wonderful scent

Iberia Doble Temple #12 Straight Razor


Here is what I know about this razor:
IBERIA is a prestigious name from the factory of Jose Bassat Jerusalmi. The industrialist José Bassat, was well known in the Spanish industrial circles and in the business world for his Fiqomatic razor blades. He was born in Sofia (Bulgaria), and arrived in Spain in 1930, where he created the company Bassat S.A, better known as Hojas Iberia. This vintage NOS #12 Doble Temple model is made with Swedish Steel and was produced in the 1930’s and is considered to be one of the best shavers made in Spain.

A couple Guerlain aftershaves and a Weber Polished Head razor arrived today.

Thank you Freddy

I hope you enjoy it all!
