Well, what can I say? The Bergische Löwe is overpriced, and has too much goldwash, but somehow, I keep reaching out for it in the mornings, simply because it is such a nice razor. Incidentally, I am about to replace my Castle Forbes stuff with Edwin Jagger (aka Klar Seifen GmbH). It costs about the same, maybe slightly less, but the combination of the cream with the after shave balm delivers the best results overall so far. Nice stuff, indeed.

The paperwork is piled high and deep in my office at the University, so I arose extra early this morning to allow myself the extra time to enjoy a str8 razor shave.
