Awesome W&B Otto, textbook.
This straight razor is one of my favorite ones. It gives a deep and perfect shave, something very common in Mastro Livi straight razors, of course. This RWL-34 blade however has something special and, in particular, I love its French point, very effective, especially in shaving particular areas of the face. Just a pass on Mastro Livi loom strop, then hand palm, and I am ready to enjoy a luxury shave. I must also admit I like this Frank Shaving Pur-tech brush very much: although it has a synthetic loft, it is very soft and pleasing to use, very effective in mounting lather.

The Day? to be >32ºF/ 0ºC and partly sunny! The Shave? Ah well. I've had this razor for over a year and finally honed it for use. OK but back to the finisher. The Bigelow gave enough glide to make the shave quite enjoyable! The Barnanägen is a wake up call, and since I will, shortly, be driving for an hour, I needed it

Nice shave this morning but I feel this blade has a little more to offer so a tweak will be in order. Have a good one.

My apologies to all the Brothers for my absence last week. My Mother-in-law passed away very suddenly a week ago yesterday. She was in excellent condition at 82 years old until the last week of her life, so it came as quite a shock. But, if I could maintain my health, mobility and mental faculties, as she did, until a week before I cash my chips in, I'll be ready to go happily ....
Looking forward to a better week ....

I restored the rolls some time ago, new leather on the strop, a spare strop with chromium oxide, honed the blade with the same kind of progression of hones that I would generally use for a restored straight. Well the shave was great, like a straight on a stick.
The soap I had forgotten about, I picked it up in the summer while on holiday in France, its cheap and I found it in a small conveninece store. This is the first time I have used it with my home water, which can kill lather from some of the expensive soaps, but it was fantastic. Great lather, nice fragrance and lovely glide; true value for money!

I was a bit scared of using this at first (the fact you just shave rather than trust your own angles, I think) and I have to say it was great very quick and easy, nice smooth shave very impressed. It is a bit bulky with the screw on the end though.
