    Razor: Erik Anton Berg, 1/4 grind
    Soap: Nannys French Lavender

    What a nice grind and razor! E A Berg usually did hollow ground razors, but this blade's nowhere close to that.

    This was quite the mystical shave with all the whiskers seeming to disappear with a wave of the razor. The thick, luxurious lather was so smooth and cushiony that the razor seemed to glide just above my face. My face is less wrinkled, my teeth seem straighter and I am at least an inch taller Amazing what a great shave can do

    An excellent shave, family are coming for lunch soon. Despite the atrocious weather its turning into a very pleasant Sunday. Albeit a tiring one according to George, the cat.
    Regards
