Thanks. It looks almost NOS, so it's not really my cup of tea. Too pretty. If I were to thin out the heard, one of these few NOS looking razors would be the first to go.
Challenge Cutlery. The edge has dulled slightly, but still ended with a very smooth finish. I'll touch this one up on the 3 then 1 micron lapping film.
Razor: Portland Razor Co Chimera Strop: Drygulch 45 Brush Handle: 30DC LE Knot: APShaveCo Cashmere Soap: Chiseled Face Civet Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel Alum Osage Rub Aftershave: Stirling Unscented Fragrance: Zoologist Civet Wow! What a fantastic shave I had this morning. I love everything about this soap; the scent is amazing, kind of a spicy floral, it's very slick once the water is dialed in (slightly thirsty) and has a great post shave feel. The 30DC brush did a great job lathering up this incredible soap and the Chimera slid through a couple days of growth. Have a great day folks!
