Have a Great Monday Gents!
I've not had much time to take and upload photos over the last few days, so here is a picture from last week (Friday maybe?) and one from today.
Mitchell's Wool Fat - Semogue 610 - Gold Dollar #66 - Pinaud Clubman

This GD was honed on a coticule and it was ok. Needs a bit more time on the hone to be really comfortable.
Mitchell's Wool Fat - Zebrawood Silvertip - Toyo Scheon Burg #666 - GFT Marlborough

The Toyo also needs some work. Not the most comfortable shave but it certainly got the job done.
