My first true BBS shave was many moons ago with a beaten up Hoffrtiz travel slant. I loved the razor, but was always afraid it would one day crumble in my hands and so passed it on.

Naturally I was very excited, when I had the opportunity to obtain a near mint copy of this stellar razor. And the shave with it was just as wonderful, as I can remember. The handle these days is of course way to small for me, but I just wanted to relive those sweet memories. The perfect Stirling lather certainly helped and the shave was just blissful.

Now if any machinist wants to make me an exact stainless steel copy of this razor head, please contact me - I am still too worried the razor might crumble one day and therefor will not use it too often.

I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday

Reef Point Submariner today. 20 seconds to load the Turtleship Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette Silver Blue in the Gillette “Black Beauty”. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Reef Point Submariner aftershave.
