Been a while since I last posted in SOTD. Currently in Shinjuku, Tokyo for 2 weeks. Great beautiful city. Been all over since the past one week and today I was hopping between museums around Tokyo. Just wanted to share some pictures I took in Tokyo Sword Museums and Tobacco & Salt Museum in Shibuya.

Soap: GFT Sandalwood
AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood

Can you say scary sharp, that's how sharp this Duck's. Very nice and smooth shave, but I did nick myself on the jaw and I didn't feel a thing but sure bled out some.

Pre - Alum block
Strop - 3 inch bridle leather/hard felt

Razor - Premier Cutlery Co "Premier King" 11/16
Soap - Cella+Kaloderma cream with 6 drops glycerin and 1 drop lanolin

First 3 pass shave with this razor for a close shave with some irritation. Got to work on my honing so back to the finisher for a few more strokes, I think. Gives that satisfying scritching sound of a full hollow, like my DDs. Not disappointed at all. Have a good one.

Hot shower prep

Splash: Bay Rum
Today: A beautiful, bright and sunny day after a mild snow last evening. Seems that PIPES keep coming my way, the fourth this last 30 days. Not from the ‘Bay either. This is another razor finished upon the Zulu hone. I received a satisfactory shave after a hundred laps on leather. More laps over time would continue to improve the edge.
