Jamie,

Only my second shave with this razor it produced a excellent shave super smooth, technique improving all the time, it's about confidence when using very sharp blades I think, my left hand is doing OK it did it's 50% of the shave, very pleased if i'm honest.

God and country have been keeping me fairly busy but here is a late Fri post!
My Buddy that is interested in wet shaving has a daughter that gave me a little buddy to shave with!

TI in Rams Horn, MDC/EJ Sea Buckhorn.
I ran this back over the Naniwa 12K then the Shapton 16K followed by 30/60 HPF and Leather. Great shave and OMG sharp! I'm finding I really like the edge off the shapton. Very crisp and precise. Not harsh at all.

Saturday:

Expert Barber 400 6/8
EJ Best
Wilkinson Sword Stick
Witch Hazel
Nivea S. Balm
Polo Original edt

I really had no idea which razor to use today. Scanning through my boxes i decided on the Ferlen. I have never seen another razor like this since i bought it. Beautiful razor and Very sharp and about a 1/4 hollow. I think i need to tone the edge down a bit. I did have a little irritation. If you havent tried Eucris i Highly recomend it. Awesome stuff!

SO GLAD IT SATURDAY!

Ferlen 14 7/8

Hi nicknbleeding

I believe the Ferlen to be a Japanese steel razor made in the western style if I recall correctly. They are of very high quality. Beautiful piece and thanks for posting!

Judging from the top notch quality of your shaves today (and everyday), I would say that you gentlemen are off to a great start for Saturday. A true pleasure to see and wind down another successful week's SOTD.

Now that sounds like fun EA. It also gives new meaning to "if you build it, they will come" line. Yours will be: If you think it, it shall manifest.

Trust me bro, you're not the only one. This is a great product. Floris is amongst my favorites too (although I don't have the full line up like AS/EdC like you do). Great scent and great lather

PS: Nice TZ and great shave B

Wowww Amund,
That good, eh? You must have one of the good C12K, because I have heard that it's always touch and go with these stones. Great shot and shave too.

I love that brush Mikael...Rod and I talked about the Masur Birch, but I ended up choosing the Thuya Burl for my brush (hopefully when he gets his knots in soon). The Masue will be definitely be on my radar screen as a next project.

Well done with the Helje too...Hopefully it was a comfortable one.

Nic,
That setup will certainly result in a DFS. Great one. And about your post: That's what I call dedication buddy. Nothing comes between me and my food (Arghhh)...not even SOTD, LOOOL

Congrats Jamie...That's what it's all about; the journey, not the destination. This hobby should be viewed more like "Journey without a goal" (the Tantric wisdom of Buddha)...take the destination out of the equation and your options will widen considerably.

Paul,
I love your friend's friend. Those puppy and beady little eyes are so cute, LOOL

Great looking TI too and well done on her edge. These things have hard steel, but once they take an edge, they're marvelous

Hey Rene,
With 250+ razors in your arsenal, I would have the same problem, LOOOOOL. That is one beautiful blade brother. Great choice...sorry for the irritation though
