Shave of the Day - 2024

 La Faulx + DRH Pink Splash

GFT Rose // Custom Copper Papiu Beehive // La Faulx + DRH Pink Splash
Very nice!! Really nice looking set up. How does the La Faulx perform? Which level of aggression do you use? And blade?

You never forget your first. My first real SR and today's razor was a Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 dressed in Madagascan mahogany timber scales. Edge is finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa.

This week I am shaving with La Troja stick soap and my most favoured brush a no-brand Chinese guaranteed pure best badger synthetic.

The Alt Innsbruck cologne is a great match for Tabac - Germans and Austrians tend to get on. Nice work. (y)

Thanks Tom. As it happens, Half my family originally came from Alsace Lorain in the late 19th Century, when it was part of Germany. The other half came from Holland at the beginning of the 20th Century,

My most favoured razor and always a pleasure to shave with, the Gold Dollar W59 (with a sharp pointy toe). Edge is finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa.

The GD W59 always gives me one of my best shaves. Not sure if it is the blade profile (toe) that demands respect and total concentration while shaving or the quality of edge that it takes. Probably a combination of both.
