Nice find! I like those old Sheffield razors with the barber’s notch. A great design feature

Wonderful aquatic scent. There’s nothing like going to a beach on the Mediterranean Sea on a beautiful crisp fall morning in Maryland. The little Reynolds 4/8 is a sports car. Great shave that merited a thin cloud of talc.

Yeah, it’s a cool little razor. Ivory scales. I bought this off the 'zaar back in March. It is in terrific shape and took a great edge.

How’s the soap base? E&S are on my list of French soap makers I want to try one day (as soon as I’ve killed a tub - whenever that may be)

The soap base is just fine. Very easy to lather and pretty slick. Zero issues for me. It is not distinctive in the way that bases from Zingari, Wholly Kaw, or BaM are, but that doesn’t make it worse. I think it just does not have the same emphasis on skin food and post-shave feel.
