Big thanks to @bald as for an excellent tutorial on SR honing today and this razor, no idea what it is but shaved beautifully and has an engraving English Sheffield Shield. Had an amazingly smooth shave on the cheeks and growing in confidence.
pushed it a little further with a little pass under the chin / upper neck, then started moving towards my chin when I realised how confident I felt and decided it was now wise to stop and enjoy the win so far
really starting to enjoy the SR shave and cant wait to start honing
finished off with the amazingly smooth WR2 for a bbs finish

I scored this soap in last year's charity auction, and even though I love and use it a lot, the level hasn't got as far as the bottom of the screw thread yet.
