This razor has had its issues of late, it doesn't give bad shaves mind you but the blade just isn't as crisp as I'd like it. Brief touch up hone last evening and stropped the tar out of it this morning. Better but still not great.

Hot Shower

TOBS Sandalwood

Result was a wonderful relaxing way to start the day and a very smooth shave.

I got this razor back with new leopard wooden scales yesterday and I _love_ it. Funny thing though was I didn´t think extremly much of her when I sent her away, liked the blade and the back enough to keep her. But boy did she do a come back! (Thanks Neil!)

Mikael,

Beautiful Razor and a very nice photo.

First time using the 7OC in the green wrapper. This is one excellent blade. Extremely smooth right out of the box (wrapper). The combination of the 7OC with the La Toya SC whipped up with the 1438 is sweet.

Ditto...Your razor is a work of art. I love that spine on the blade as well as the scales. Outstanding!

Today's shave was the first time I've had to mow down more than a day's growth in 7 weeks, and it felt great!
A great prelude to going out and breaking a few (hopefully more than a few) clat targets...
