First time with both brush and razor, both preformed well, amazed of how well the brush lays in hand and how well it performed and blomed, being the first time. Razor was very nice, but needs some honing, I did some touch up with balsa and it worked (HHT), but after the shave and 50/70 on Neil Millers linnen/buffalo strop it was sharp, but not sharp enough + it pulled some towards the end of the two passes. I´m very happy to have traded for this razor and it´s a very nice blade!

Mikael,

Beautiful post. Love the Brush!!

Thank you Lu! I can´t tell you how happy I am with this brush, it totaly blewed me away. It´s not broken in yet, but boy oboy I sure love to hold it in my hand, how it looks and how it preformes so far. Pm me if you want a link ... Perfect for when I only shave the face, and it really whiped up loads of nice lather this morning

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

1958 Executive/Iridium
