    This is the last 'test razor' in the testing of a new hone, the razor is a Puma Inox modified for the Japanese market, made into a shorty. The shaving cream was AdP lathered with a Simpsons Keyhole 4, and topped off with Lucky Tiger and a bit of AdP face cream after drydown. Nice shave!

    Cheers, Steve

    Tanifuji 100 Maxfli that I refreshed last night. The heel tested a little weak, but the shave was fine. I may give it another shot on the stone later on. Soap was Czech and Speake Oxford and Cambridge lathered with a 3-band HMW. AS was the dependable Harris Pink.

    Cheers, Steve

    You got to love those Tanifujis. Tanifuji taught Iwasaki to make western style straights.
