Very nice razor and shave, this edge has been honed by the only one I feel have the same honing skills as Mr Neil Miller in England - Sham in the US (I haven´t tried every honemasters skills out there though, so it´s only my oppinion and I can´t compare my results with some of the highly recommended pros).

My mind was not have been on the task tonight. I made a pretty bad lather and then gave myself a slice on the jaw on the second pass. Cant fault the razor though, it did it's job well. Apart from the cut I'm clean and smooth.
Have a great day fellas, thanks for all the excellent posts.

Thank you Sir. I have to admit, I'm quite proud of how that one turned out.

Acca Kappa 1869 | Simpson Wee Scot | Heljestrand | Thayers Rose | Le Labo Rose 31

A great shave, to match the wonderful images and shaves you gentlemen have been sharing already this week. The AK gives such a great lather with that wonderful almond scent, and the Heljestrand does what all Swedish blades seem to do so well. The Le Labo left me with a wonderful cedar and floral scent. I'm ready for motions in Bankruptcy Court!
