One small nick. That spike point is VERY sharp!!

Have an outstanding day!

Heh, Jay - I thought it was a bit rounded? Anyway, glad to see this one saved

<24hrs of stubble
Little Cutie
Honeybee Chamomile Shea soap
Clydesdale shell strop
Cuppla razors I had to test
Lanvin Aprege ASB
Grey Goose + diluted grape juice (taken internally - a drink a/r the shave)

While edges weren't all that - the shave was nice overall.

Little Cutie, back from a long absence, is in the top spot of my small brush rotation. I don't even try to reach for another brush. Really nice backbone, and quite soft tips, perfect density (I find my Plisson may be too dense, which makes it harder to soak - air pockets, you have to twist and turn to take care of them - and forget about a quick soak if you are impatient). Also - drop dead gorgeous, in my eyes

Cheers
Ivo

Well the second hone job took the first was a bit less than ready... oops. But given that it took a while for me to get an edge on the other Robeson I have, it was expected. Great shave and a good workhorse of a razor.
