Three way first time with vintage Williams Tonsorial, Alt Innsbruck, and J.A. Henckels straight. All three a generous gift from Matt Luecke. Fantastic shave with Bunny Berigan’s big band playing in the background. Great way to relax on a Saturday morning!

Thanks. It was called the "Gladius" handle, and came in 3" and 3.5". I think it's discontinued.

After a few more days of trying out other razors, it was a pleasure to get back to my N075. With a sharp blade, this mild razor is a pleasure to use. 2021-02-06 Mumtaz NO75 feather Elite Sicily .jpeg

Excellent lather from the soap. Awesome scent, creamy and slick quality!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was super nice! So smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs to dfs result. Grand aftershaves too...Rating 10/10!!

Ohhh wow! Special indeed this soap. Nice flower pattern of the soap surface. Initial smell....barely but some semblance to a cigar. Upon lathering...waaaaaa. I so happened to have a box of Cohiba cigars and the scent is quite similar but the soap the lather is stronger. Definitely unlike the sweet Cavendish nor Haverford. Really enjoyed the scent which was consistent. I would rate it at 5-5.5 out of 10 strength. Quality-wise...creamy but found slickness just ok.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes for a mostly bbs to dfs result but somehow get 2 micro weepers. Enjoyable session. Rating 9.5/10
