Mühle travel brush & Floris JF
The three pieces of the Mühle travel razor, this one in black aluminum. Aluminum is quite light, but it’s also relatively soft, so you must be careful of the threads. (The nickel-plated brass version is heavier but the threads are also probably stronger.)
This is the shave, and it was the Mühle brush’s first use. I got a very good lather, but had to return to the soap at the third pass. Tomorrow I think I’ll try this brush with a shaving cream to compare the results.
The Feather premium razor, with its original Feather Hi Stainless blade, delivered a superb shave, and a splash of Paul Sebastian aftershave sent me on my way.
Thanks for the reply regarding Razor Emporium. I’m sending them my Fat Boy for rhodium plating. Thanks again for writing the book, I really look forward to a new edition.

I’m just waiting for the “after” photos of my razors, which I’ll undoubtedly also post here on the blog. New edition will be out (I hope) by the end of the month. I’ve added a fair amount this time.
