Nimble for it's 8/8 size, and Brian put on a really smooth Jnat edge on it, just a wonderful pleasure using it.

Gorgeous razor!!! Use it in good health!

ASB: Proraso Liquid Cream Aftershave Lotion

After Shave: Trufitt and Hill Trafalgar

Summary: A great shave and all the scents worked well together.

Monday 15th

Sheffield blade, 6/8+, 1/2 hollow
Neil Miller strops linen/english bridle 40/60
Muehle synthetic silvertip faux ebony 23mm knot
Real Shaving Co. sensitive shave cream
Thann after shave lotion
Korres melograno moisturizer
Diptyque Tam Dao eau de toilette

Too sharp due to stropping or the shave cream is not very cushiony, result was ok of course but with that blade I've got marginally better results in the past so something went slightly off today.

No time to take a picture, looks like a busy week ahead, may have to fly to Liverpool, U.K. this or next week to go and see an old lady that's been sort of abandoned for some years now in the port there.
