As I promised, I shaved with Monica today. Excellent shave, if I hadn't accidently pressed wrong angle against my face and left a little cut it would have been perfect. I'm still amazed Max was able to sharped the little upswept point, worked great on the little stubble at the nostrils.
Only a few shaves left with my T&H 1805, lasted a year. Gonna try Castle Forbes lime next.
