1930s Shave Stick Shave

This evening, I decided to do an experiment with a 1930s shave stick that I got in a TSD raffle a few years back. I got two of these sticks, and at the time, I removed the deteriorating coverings and replaced them with aluminum foil. They have been gracing my counter ever since. I decided to give one a go. I put one in some water and let it soak for a good while hoping to rejuvenate it some. Long story short, it did not lather well at all. However, it did give me some slickness that I decided to take advantage of. I did a one pass shave with it and got a pretty good shave. Here is the proof.
