Saturday
Pre-Shave: A shower, long and warm. Brush: Taylor of old Bond street Razor: Chr. Rabén, Uppsala. 6/8 Spike point Honing Regimen: Chosera 1-5-10K, Shoubudani with Mejiro and Tomo Nagura, finished on water. Strop: Kanayama #90000, tri-strop Soap/Cream: Truefitt&Hill 1805 shaving cream Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White Astringent: After shave Balm: Truefitt&Hill 1805 EdT: Truefitt&Hill 1805 Results: This new Swede was a pleasing new arrival. I had never even heard of the brand, but figured it worth a shot. It takes an edge just as well as my other Swedes. Good stuff. I believe someone has re-grinded it somewhere along the way, and that someone sure did a good job. Very hollow, very even! Sadly, when testing it after honing it gave me the biggest cut I've ever had from this sport That will soon be healed, and all I'll remember from this incidence is this great razors edge!

Superlather: Henks Dutch Moss + Top Secret
AS: Lucky Tiger and Lacoste Challange
Strops: Neil Miller

Ahh. this was a nice one, best in a long while. This superlather combo was perfect, the blade is wonderful and the brush is out of this world nice!
Yesterdays shave was lousy and I didn´t want to write about it ;-), but the blade is nice, so she gets an appearance (custom made scales by Neil, with MOP inlays):

Beautiful catch, Bjoernar, but very sorry to hear about the cut! Hope it heals fast!
Mikael,
The blade is, indeed, lovely, and those less desireable shaves just make us appreciate the good ones (like it sounds like you had this morning) all the more!He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.
