Very close shave from the Canadian 'old type' with a solid ball end handle. I had this razor re plated in silver recently by Dave at Restored razors. The razor looks good now and I find is more aggressive than the US version, two small weepers today from it. The date code is 313825 but what year I don't know.

Great looking razor, Brian.
 
Tobs Shaving Shop shaving cream
Turkish no. 6
Aristocrat (possibly no. 14)
Super Thin stainless & Supermax Blue Diamond
Witch Hazel

First try with this razor. Has the aggression I remember from my old 66 but this one being open comb it was easier to judge the angle (tram lines, or the absence of). Used a blade on either side of my face and the BD seemed smoother and less draggy. Good result but like the 66 required more touch-ups which increased the soreness. I think this would be best if i chose a set number of passes then just left it.
 
Shower
Face lathered TOBS coconut with FS silvertip
DE89 w/Personna lab blue (4)
Alum
Proraso splash

3 pass BBS again but very slight irritation for the first time with this new (for me) blade.

I been carrying that song in my head since the early 70s. Usta listen to Johnny Otis Blues Band and Mr Vinson was with them for a while I think. He does a great version of that song with Johnny and Shuggie Otis, much later in his career.

So how would you categorize the musical style? Jazz do you think? Possibly Swing? It's a real bare bones version, but I enjoyed that number.

This soap is absolutely fantastic! I am thinking of buying an aftershave that will be a better match. D.R. Harris Pink maybe?

Probably a mixture of the two martin, artists will gain influence from anywhere and everything that's ever happened to them in there lives, both jazz and swing were very popular in there day so there's a good chance that the band probably went to jazz and swing joints to "hang out,"

Probably no big deal back then just jump in the car drive to town, all suited and booted with ten ton of snake oil slapped on, hoping to get some crutch, or just chill with the music, happy days :)
