This is hard to believe, shaves are getting better and better almost each time. Cleanest and smoothest in achieving it shave so far.

This morning I woke up and saw the news.
Terrible what has happened in Norway, I was thinking, why the hell people have guns / pistols needed
Why ruin someone else's life?
My sympathy goes out to the parents and other relatives of the victims.

I shaved me today with a razor, which I've taken this morning along the hones.
1,4,8 and 12,000 grit was needed for the razor, and had a great result while shaving.
Because I have not really a shavingtest whit this razor, I had a backup razor ready.
Did not need, from beginning to end a perfect shave.
