    Novodur 14, soap was MdC glass jar original (don’t drop one on a tile floor in bare feet), and an Omega 49 lathered up a big bowl of suds. Agua Balsamica finished things up.

    Kamisori face and head shave. Smoother this time but gotta tube this edge more. Really stubborn.

    Not that bad. Edge imperfections on a wedge have never bothered me shaving, and this one has a few. 1 more pass than normal, but comfortable and decent result.

    Hans,

    For 3” Abbey in England or possibly Tony Miller.

    https://www.abbeyengland.com

    For 70mm (about 2-5/8”, Kanoyama width), Latvian linen, this Etsy seller

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/780497457/pure-linen-tape-by-yard-7cm-wide-tape?click_key=79e88c635f05174957ec6436a07744bf44eb02a1:780497457&click_sum=0edb471c&ref=user_profile&sts=1

    The Latvian linen is what I’m currently using and worked well on the Sub Cero at 117+ shaves on the edge

    If you want 2.5”, Tony Miller usually has it, you’ll just need to email him. Really nice fellow.

    Is the Latvian linen what you helped me pair with the Roo leather some years ago? :signs002:

    It looks quite raw on the picture, but I guess the edge is okay?

    I think that you will not be disappointed Hans, I have a roll of the Latvian linen. Shipping to the US is long and it isn’t expensive so I got some extra.

    I happen to like that type of patina.
