How do you like it, Matt? I’ve been contemplating picking it up. The fragrance sounds like it’s right up my alley...

Had to think about what section to actually post this one in
Workshop, HOTD, SOTD
So I get in this razor, Basically "Here Glen it is yours, Keep It, Pitch It, Fix it, I just never want to see it again, dropping it makes me sick"
Mint Dorko #14
Big ole CRAAaaaaaaack
So I do some thinking, if I just grind it down I am looking at a 6/8+ with that big #14 staring at me saying "I used to be an 8/8"
I can do a heel cut away but Meh
So I start drawing on it with my sharpie... I want the 8/8 size, it doesn't have a Double Grind with a Stabilizer, Hmmmmmm Japanese Slant with a bit more smile
Head out to the shop fire up the 2x72 and hope I don't hear the "Tink" of death
Get the slant in
Work it out into a smooth Smile on the hones
Testing a questionable Dark Blue Escher (left) against my Blue Green Escher (right) that yielded a smooth edge
The most conditioning Uberlather ever
Himalayan Shave Soap
Shea Butter and White Tea Shave Cream
Both from Escentials in Portland
5 drops Glycerin
Whipped together in my Georgetown Scuttle with a ShaveMac 28mm SuperSilvertip
Two pass shave
ICWR
Followed by a generous splash of Ogallala Sandalwood / Bay Rum
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Shave On Gents !!!"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"
