Thanks!

The Taylor's Eyewitness 1000 does it again! This is a fabulous razor and always reminds me why I like Sheffield steel. Cade shaving cream provided just the right glide.

A while ago I gave my Friodur a little chip banging it against the sink, very small but annoying still. So it went back to the hones today. Took out the chip on the DMT 325, then my regular progrssion of Chosera 1k and Shapton 2-6-4-6-8-16k, finished with 10 laps on CrOx on balsa.
Got some great tips from honing perfectionist Tom Blodgett about using the Shaptons and was rewarded with a very sharp, yet really smooth edge.

Cheers brother Grant! I'm really excited about it, childish, but I am Maybe I'll use it tomorrow aswell, even though I really need to rest the face a day, lol.

Good evening friends!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Haryali badger
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: C. V. Heljestrand Mk 30, 4/8 hollow round point in horn scales, bone wedge
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: English Leather home made splash
Notes: A lovely little razor this, feisty in it's eagerness to mow down my stubble. I just rescaled this razor, first time I used it. It feels a little small in my hand, but provided a comfortable and very smooth BBS nonetheless. Now for some BBQ ribs, my cooker is standing in a light drizzle of rain cooking up some deliciousness.



Have a great evening everybody!
