Week of February 13 SOTD - Thursday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |

Strop: 5/10 (Torolf linen/Premium IV leather) |
Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin |
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) |

Results: The fifth razor in the line up of seven Maxterpieces this week is the Wostenholm Celebrated :bow. This beauty is clothed in G10 black scales, beautifully fitted to accentuate the blade's curves. I must say that this blade was honed up by yours truly. She took on a wonderfully sharp and smooth edge. Being a heavy grind, it took me a good long time to get her to the point where she popped hair, but once there, I was very very happy...almost as good as Max' edges (I wish...not really, but close). The Saville Row and Acca Kappa überlather was a delightful combination for prepping this 1-day old stubble, which this Wosty just effortlessly wiped away :y. An excellent shave today. I am happy, my wife is happy and my face is even happier. |
