The last time I used this razor I found that it needed a touch-up before the next shave.
So today I gave it a light run on the Swaty and the "Magnum" Wacker is back to it's own sweet self.
The combination of a smooth shave and the smell of Mama Bear's Aged Spice makes it a great way to start the day.
9C / 48F and cloudy, that's a winter temperature I can enjoy. Have a nice day.

This razor as such a fine blade and takes a sweet edge, two days growth wiped out in a two pass shave, very smooth with no irratation you know that because there's very little feedback from the Alum, out of my vintage razors this ones quickly becoming my favourite.

No shave for me tonight.
But I did slap on some of the Bigelow Menthol balm after my shower because its been
so bloody hot here today.
