After 130 years this razor still give fantastic shave...

I am kicking this week off with a razor I don't tend to use very often. This Le Grelot, however, deserves far more attention than I give it. It was lovingly restored by Maximillian who reground it, and rescaled it in some gorgeous butterscotch scales. The razor paired well with another product I don't tend to use often lately - my MNS O/C/BP. The citrus scent filled the den as I whipped up a luxurious lather and I was soon transported to shaving nirvana. Two quick passes later, and my 3 days of stubble was wiped clean! I am BBS and ready to face a new work week!

I must have been a little heavy handed, certainly felt the sting from the Alum Block post shave.
But all in all, a good clean shave.
