Good morning;
I am testing out a couple blades before they go home to new owners. Finished up with my beautiful Japanese Tamahagane western grind. Max did his magic with the horn scales on this one and it is a perfect match. A truly one of a kind razor. I am spoiled by the shave. The origami ball is from Mr. Akira Yamashita. Have a great week all.

AN OSCAR WORTHY SHAVE
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger Maxterpiece: 6/8" Wyeth "Trade Mark Warranted", 1/2 hollow (stiff) ground, Round Point (w/ Bone Linen Micarta scales + Black Paper Micarta wedge) Honing (Refresh): 5 laps on CrOx leather Strop: 5/45/70 laps (Torolf Linen / SRD Premium IV English Bridle leather / Ambrose Horsehide Cląsico leather) Soapreme: RazoRock "Ltd. Ed." Shave Creme + Mama Bear's "Almond" Shave Soap + Glycerin Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol) After Shave Splash: Proraso AS Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdT After Shave Balm: eShave "Almond" ASB Results: Both wife and I have been sporting a cold for a few days now :(, but it seems like it's the tail end of the viral life cycle. This was written on the walls; running hard for a few months and being bombarded and exposed to "sick" people will test anyone's immune system. THE BAD: we have quarantined ourselves and will not be seeing family this week. THE GOOD: This shave was fabulously refreshing:nj. Despite a stiffer grind, this Wyeth is a terrific performer and she can certainly hold a fantastic edge:y. Loved the über I made with RR & MB combo. Smoooth and BBS and ready for the Oscar's tonight:tu (Go Billy).
