    I enjoy shaving with a frame back. Seems that to me, the blade is a bit less forgiving than most. Do you find they flex less also?

    Prep:Hot Shower
    Brush:TGN 24mm custom
    Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
    Cream:BRV CarrieM
    Razor:Clauss
    After shave: AOS Sandalwood ASB
    EDT: Polo Blue



    Result: I love the scales on this razor, yet I fear they are done for. I opened the blade this morning and there was a brown line down the length of the blade and little spots that look like the start of “Devil's Spit” (cell-rot). I'll be popping the scales off to get it away from the blade tonight. The shave was great, just a bummer to have to toss just a beautiful set of scales...not a big fan of Celluloid for this reason.

    Default Friday


    I really like this soap, like the MdC soap it has it´s own very distinct scent and it´s an excellent preformer and together with the Tubby it produced tons of lovely lather. My jaw is unbelivable clean, when I rub my hand against it it´s like touching the inside of my palm

    I´m sorry, I missed the Freaky Friday theme but I saw it to late.
