Very classy, very elegant SOTD Robert. I wonder after each of your posts how you will out-do your last shave but you always manage. You really set the bar.

Cheers Robert! It's a sweet blade, a smoth talker and operator If your brush is in the same place as the one Törnblom wedge in pink ivory custom scales I sold to a guy in Cigaco (been laying there since 5th of September, I bet you they're very clean shaven in that office

After this shave, I can honestly step up and say that I understand why Max swears by this beauty. How can I best describe today's experience? Well, let me just say that it makes all my other shaves to date feel like a "first time/learning" shave. This was the nirvana moment every newbie straight shaver goes through in his wetshaving journey, stumbling along the way, all in the quest for that "perfect" shave.
