Did you actually use that vintage scuttle?
If yes, then how did it go for you?

Yes, it works fine, just soak your brush in the bottom part and it warms up the soap. Beautiful antique, made in the days when houses had no hot running water and probably no heat at all. It was made in Austria, and i believe dates before the Great War.

[b]SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6, 2020[/b]

I’d ask for help, as I slide down this straight razor rabbit hole, but I’m just having too much fun. The NOS Nichigi Tokusen by Diamond Hayashi Co. Of Tokyo arrived unexpectedly early yesterday. This particular razor is immaculate and was sent out by the previous owner for honing by Max Sprecher. A quick touch up on the Jasper stone followed by a quick session on the pasted strop last night, and I was ready for business this morning.

The shave was amazing! I get why folks are so enamored by Silver Steel Japanese razors. Three slow luxurious passes (WTG, ATG, XTG) and an effortless VBBS result. In fact, the post shave skin feel was so good from the Lush Prince shaving cream, I decided to forego the dome shave today. I didn’t understand smooth sharp until this particular shave.  

This Prince shaving cream is a pretty amazing straight shaving accessory. Time to make the Michigan sauce for the clan gathering tomorrow. I’ll be shaving with this razor tomorrow! I feel cool, clean and very velveteen! In fact I can’t seem to stop touching my face. This was an unbelievably close face shave! Enjoy your Sunday and have a blessed day to all!

Schick Plus Platinum (3)
Floris Elite aftershave (vintage)

I usually think of the Schick blade as being very slightly lower in quality than Personna 74 or Wilkinson Light Brigade, but in this razor it is marvellous.
