Hi Brian,

Small nick, first in awhile. Not as good of a shaver as my other Elliot silver steel but not "bad" by any means. Still enjoying the Palmolive :)

- Razor: Jernbolaget Frameback, leather scales, forced patina using citrus juice
- Cream: Body Shop Macca Root
- Hair Tonic: Pashana Bay Rum
- Eau de Toilette: ‘Whisky’ by Evaflor
Nice shave with the Jernbolaget this morning. I now have a very nice edge on this razor. After two passes I was certainly GDS, ready for inspection. The Body Shop Macca Root lathers almost too easily. This has to be the cream for newbies who have trouble making a decent lather and want to concentrate on razor technique and be unhampered by a poor lather.

Shave prep Morning shave, so a hot shower

Strop: Kanayama 20 canvas strokes and 60+ strokes on the leather

Notes:
I kinda keep getting back to using TOBS Sandlewood soap this week. It was the first real soap I got after I found out about SRP, now more than three years ago. That was when we still got the ‘review’ section which encouraged me to buy it. I like it ever since!
When I stepped outside this morning and felt the freezing -2ºC air on my glowing face I got this super clean feeling skin rush.
Bliss!
