Nice score Mikael. Those Bergs can be wonderful shavers. Are you going to fully hone her up or are you satisfied with the edge?

You´re a lucky man, but so am I It´s one of those borderline edges, but if I feel like that I´ll have her honed up sooner rather tham later.

Running late today:



E A Berg (Eskilstuna) Shark Special; Kent BK4; Taylor's sandalwood cream; witch hazel; Acqua di Parma.

Another honing test, and an opportunity to play snap with Mikael. I did a Törnblom at the same time, finishing that on a coticule and the Shark on another mystery hone, so as to have a fresh known edge to compare it to: more on this tomorrow. Oh yes, not a bad shave at all.

The pic includes a little nod to Poly Styrene, whose death was announced earlier today.

Have not posted for a few days. Anyway I took my usual shower a bit early today and then went to shave.
Warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
New Forest Badger
Cella Shave Cream
Fromm 72
AOS Aluminum
Lilac Vegetal
Vaseline for men.
I received this Fromm via Max yesterday. The shave was just amazing as anyone who has ever shaved with a Maxter-piece will attest. Max, thanks for a great razor.

Rene, what a beautiful razor. Those scales are fantastic! I didn't know that Dovo made an 8/8.

Nice razor Matt. I've been interested in acquiring a Wosty at some point. How does it shave?

Yes it is. Translucent Horn. The scales really caught my eye.
