After seeing Lou shave with his Böhler-Stahl recently, I got the urge to bring it out again. Such a consistently-smooth shaver!

I will have to work it into a focus again in a few months. It was pretty smooth, but after using a couple of professionally honed razors since then, I realized I need to spend some time with it on the hones. It should be outstanding after that!
Super-smooth evening shave using the fast & efficient J-West razor: Takehana Feon… Two shaves in one day! Wosty in the early morn; the Feon tonight….
Today I shaved for the first time with my new Drew Dick 7/8 spanish point, with brown horn scales. First impressions it is a well balanced razor, that fits well in his scales, and for a razor without jimping (only one in my rotation has no jimping) easy to grip and not extra slippery. I like the tapered tale and the overall look, it looks a little similar as my Herder 7/8 spanish point(which is one of my favorite shavers). Also it is nice that it has no shoulder. WTG and XTG there where no problems, ATG it was a little jumpy I would like it a little sharper I think, but that can be fixed. Overall I think it is a very nice razor and I think it will be a regular in my rotation. Nice work Drew.
