The cream was paired with a Manchurian Badger brush from Simpsons and the lather/whiskers were removed with a Joe Chandler custom in Wootz steel that was finished with a one-stone nagura progression on Oozuku. The shave left me smooth as could be and I finished it all up with some MPG Santal Noble. It doesn't get much better than this!

Lovely. I have a weakness for covered tang razors. Happy Pesach.
