An excellent shave. I love my Noyer French razor. Takes a very fine edge and super-smooth. The denim is a classic. Brings back so many memories. Has been in my rotation for more than 30 years. It doesn't compare to the old vintage stuff but it's somewhat close. Better than nothing I would say.

Enjoy boys!

Thanks to all of you for another week of good ideas, frufru, and shave gear!

The little flying frog bit me. Besides being easier to maintain on a flat hone the wider blades give better angle control. Another reason why the 6/8 and 7/8 blades gained in popularity.
