    Le Grelot 14 with a refreshed edge off the new stone. I was pleasantly surprised, although the stone is only 10mm thick, it’s on a fitted base and is likely Nakayama from the back skin. Pre-shave was SMN, and a Paladin Chief lathered up some Pre de Provence. Myrsol C finished up a great semi-summer shave.

    Lund then Iwasaki then Le Grelot 14…
    My blade of choice tonight is not worthy of this line up. Gorgeous Thursday gentlemen.

    Today was a double header, The Manhattan has Scott’s Thuri edge on it, and the Le Grelot an edge from the new hoard kiita. Both shaved incredibly well, thank you @DaltonGang ! I actually preserved Scott’s edge after one cheek pretty much to use as a reference for my own Thuri edges, which I am not that proficient with yet, I only have one.

    The Grelot takes an aggressive edge off most stones but this one was a butterknife and the mentholated Myrsol Limon didn’t sting at all, The stone is a winner.

    Wasn’t easy :).

    Not the greatest razor for a full shave… but I had the time.
    Enjoy your shave.
