Ever have one of those shaves that's so satisfying that you're sad when it's finished? That was today.
Pulled out the Dovo Bismarck in bone. Got this on eBay a year or so ago, and I can't remember having shaved with it before today. Was never really sure about the edge, and I haven't yet put it on the hones. Decided to try about a dozen laps on the diamond pasted strop. Two days' growth whacked. DFS/BBS in two passes with a pillow of MWF suspending the whiskers. Brut cologne to finish the job.
Have a terrific week, friends!
P.S. Just for kicks, I've tossed in pics of the entire collection, divided amongst the case and the shelf in the shave den.
