What a beautiful setup Dave. Love the CG with the vintage Gillette head. Of course, as usual, Freddie outdid himself with that brush. Simply stunning Freddiep318ti !

Thanks Paul ! Freddie not only does beautiful quality work but his customer service goes above and beyond sourcing a knot to fit since they are all coming oversized from what they state anymore. Thanks Freddie !

Thu**ROSE**day December 14, 2023
Razor: ABC Empire Set
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: Vintage Walnut-Brass/Timberwolf Knot
Soap: Mammoth Funny Valentine
AS : Witch Hazel + CFG Black Rose
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,863

Thu**ROSE**day inspired by TommyCarioca 1st run with the Empire ABC Razor and as expected it shaves like any Old Type Gillette. It's an aggressive razor but if you find the proper angle and pressure it is a smooth and effective shave. Exactly what I expected and happy to finally have landed it after at least 5-6 years of hunting one that was reasonably priced. Also loving the Brush repaired by our Freddiep318ti that set a Timberwolf in it for me as requested. I recommend him for his skill & talent if you need it. Have a great day everyone !

Just finished up this Ever-Ready that was sent in for some TLC. The handle was in beautiful condition as it was. I opened it up to hold a 22mm knot per owners request, refreshed the lettering on the base, and gave it a quick polish. Knot is from Maggards.

Just set the knot in this one. This one is another that had a busted ferrule. Created the hammered copper ferrule to fit which allows for a 28mm knot. Knot of choice is a 28mm synthetic silvertip.
