Thread: Sun September 18th - Sat September 24th

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Bills horn handle and abolone base with a Simpson super knot
Razor: Hachiken 13/16 japanese frameback, western style
Soap: Provence Santé
AS: Blue Floid, Italien
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Wow, nice blade and I think Neil prob. finnished this one on his Shapton 30K (we're having a test drive for different honing techniques, that'll suit me)!? Edge feeled like in between yesterdays Helje and the day before that Blusmens edge, even though _very_ sharp, but that's in these framebacks nature, I think. Nice shave, never the less

I've gotten such good shaves this week, that I only have had to shave once every 2 - 3 days. Not kidding. I'm really happy with the close shaves, but bummed because I really enjoy my shaves and no sense in shaving a face that doesn't need it. The combo Uber smelled FANTASTIC. I've got to try that again!

Mike,
Congrats on getting such wonderful shaves buddy. The Eagle is beautiful. However, I am sorry about having to wait to shave...that is a bummer

Well done EA...I had forgotten about the Pyramid approach

But Its awesome for the kids, we have a swing set and an 8 foot trampoline, they love it.

Congrats Rene on a beautiful Maxtom. I think this is by far the hollowest blade Max has made. Enjoy her in good health buddy

Woaaaaah. beautiful frameback Mikael...These Japanese blades (even the hollow ones) are a bit on a stiffer side. But awesome shavers nonetheless. Congrats buddy
