    I find these fixed blade razors so much fun to use. I'd love to find the time and the right candidate to make another one.
    Maybe something with a wedgier grind would suit me well I think.
    The Mutant combined with the Cade gave me a great 2 pass DFS, a great way to relax on a Sunday evening.

    Sunday

    A good start to the day. Out to lunch with SWMBO; shared a plate of delectable delights and had a glass of Chardonnay. Then ‘round my son’s to drill some holes in the bottom of a wine barrel he’s going to grow herbs in. Home, and a beer or two (I’m cutting down) and sitting down now to a late afternoon of honing.

    The shave was excellent. I LOVE the O Melhor, you need the teeniest amount to get a great lather!
    Needed some facial moisturiser today, I think maybe I over did the face lathering the other day.

    Anyone heard from Robert lately? Or do I just keep on missing him?

    PS the 'Like' button's disappeared again too!!!

    Have a good week, people...


    Razor: Klas Törnblom
    Pre Shave: Proraso

    The edge on this Japanese razor is really holding on and I got another great BBS shave. The Palmolive and the Thäter make a great combination.

    Good morning Gents!

    Shave prep: Face wash
    Brush: Fonex boar brush
    Soap: Van der Hagen / Palmolive cream / glycerin
    Scuttle: Robert Becker large
    Razor: C. W. Dahlgren, 7/8 wedge barber's notch

    Notes: I am testing some hones, so I used the same gear as yesterday, but today my razor was honed on a Llyn Melynllyn. Interesting shave, fun to observe the differences. 2 slow and relaxing passes to BBS.
