Today I dulled my edge trying (for the first time) the Dilucot method. Honing was a fail, but practice makes perfect right?
Loaded a 5 euro disposable straight with Greek BIC Chrome Platinum, TOBS Avocado (always good lather with my hard water) and all good :)
Anyway, I'm very impressed how this cheap plastic razor shaved.
Enjoy the weekend.
