this soap is "opening up" nicely... leaving it out over night helped alot and then when mixed into a glorious lather it smelled just fantastic.

Nice Shave

How many of these Friodurs do you have, Neale? Looking good

2 days' stubble
Plisson HMW 12 horn
Honeybee Sue Chamomile Shea soap - because we just talked with Sue today: very nice on skin, as always
Boker Red Injun 101 6/8 (hate the name)
JE 13/16 sterling silver (Tiffany's)
HMC 6/8 handforged
JASON 6-in-1

Testing a few razors:

RI out the door for 1/2 pass was very nice, even on traditionally harder stubble on upper lip and chin. JE was dull enough to feel bad and give me a small nick in the first 3 strokes on the left upper lip, which was frustrating. Put it down right away, but still too late. The third razor was the nice surprise - I expected nice performance from a hand-forged but this one was smoother than I hoped for

Great shave, no irritation but I wish I had not nicked myself with the dull razor

Cheers
