Tonight shave

Razor - Hess 1

Strop - Latigo 3" with Tony Miller hardware and linen

Blade Hillman 780

Honed up the Hillman, reworking the bevel on SG 2k-Snow White-Hakka-Suita-Nakayama, finishing with a full Mikawa Nagura progression and tomonagura slurries. Edge came up like a 1950’s sci-fi Martian laser phaser. Perfect shave with great tactile and audible feedback.

Well I did mention that B&M Tuesday is a favourite as is today’s soap of the day Seville! It is one of my fav barbershop scents. Just so good with a nice citrus kick. I stand by the statement I could use both exclusively but what fun would that be?!

Today’s razor the Merkur Mergress 500 or regular handle. I am not one for long handles and my Progress is also a regular handle version. Just a great razor and though some say the Mergress is superior to a Progress, I simply see it as a hot rodded version of the same.

Lovely two pass shave with a little buffing and DFS achieved. Not a lot of work for the Mergress today but still a thoroughly enjoyable shave. Quick spritz of Acqua di Parma Colonia Ezzenza and ready for the work week! Stay safe and enjoy your shaves!
