Taylor's Rose

Great shave today. The TI has become my favorite razor.

sunday i opted for the second ebay razor i have gotten clean and sharp enough to try. a boker that was probabably loved by it's former owner... they had carved some ugly wooden scales... most likely maple or oak... but very ugly to see, although they razor is well balenced and shaves like a dream -- an old boker "extra hollow ground"

4 passes... that last was just for practice
