Sweet shave.

 

Super sharp and smooth, 2 pass shave, from this American made razor, left me BDBS. I have a couple made by this company, their quality, and steel are superb.

Played with making a set of scales today... got tired of wearing acrylic and wood dust so turned to this set-up as a reward.

Wasn't sure what soap to use today. I very nearly used The Drunken Goat as it is full of Guinness......but decided to save that description for myself later!
This was my first use of a recently acquired US E-R 1912. A shim was used so that I could compare it directly with the British version used yesterday. In my opinion the US version is significantly milder than its British equivalent.....but as always YMMV.

3 passes for a wonderful shave. That is me all set for Sunday Lunch and back home for the Rugby Match (and Guinness!)
