I can't believe I let the week get away from me! The pearl handle razor was purchased on Amazon as a prop for $10. Last night I tried to put an edge on it with my new stones. It shaved for half a cheek before it was completely useless. Luckily my Parker shavette came to the rescue.

Sorry about the blade...but those scales are really nice looking! Maybe you can find a home for them!
 
Yesterday we learned that our dear friend, and TSC Vendor, Susan Smith of Honeybee Soaps, had passed away. She was one of the first artisan shave soap makers, and has had a loyal following since 2006. She passed on 4 Dec 18, we will miss you Sue. Today’s shave was in her honor. I used her bath soap, shave soap, and I applied her body butter as an aftershave balm.

Rest In Peace Sue.
