    Le Grelot 14, soap was MdC agrumes lathered with a Paladin Chief, and Dior Eau Sauvage finished up a fine smelling shave.

    Slayton Razor
    Brush: Razorock
    Suds: TOBS Tobacco Leaf

    I had a pretty low bar expectation with this razor, but it surprised me. Not really something to do a whole shave with… but it can. :)

    Seems OK to me Hans, maybe a Tapatalk issue? I know B&B doesn’t support it anymore, they said it was very old software and hadn’t been ipdated in a while.

    Shave #79 on the Rifuto, still doing respectably well, no tugging yet. Soap was MdC agrumes lathered with a Zenith Pro, and a splash of Myrsol Limon and a spritz of MdC Limette EdC finished up a great summer shave.

    You’ve got quite the collection of small travel razors going - I had no idea it was even a thing :)

    I can see why there aren’t many… these are a challenge and not practical at all :). Fun experience though.
