Razor | Joseph Elliot | Cream | Musgo Real Classic | After Shave | Musgo Real Spiced Citrus
First shave with my new Joseph Elliot this morning. I stropped only 10/10 to evaluate the edge as I received it; it wasn’t bad, quite good. I do think a few laps on the Shapton 16k will improve it, though.
I normally shave with a lighter razor (apart from my Bengall wedge which I use rarely) so this was interesting.
I really like this razor, it’s nice smooth steel and I like the scales, which are buffalo horn.

Nice Razor Carl, do you find that you rinse the blade less often during the shave because the blade holds more lather?
